Técnico Solar Boat

IN recent news:

we are at the competitions in Groningen - Leeuwarden

Who we are

Técnico Solar Boat is a university project consisting of cross-degree engineering students at Instituto Superior Técnico that work together on the development of a solar powered boat. It is approximately 5,2m long by 2.4m wide, with the purpose of participating in worldwide university competitions organized by Solar1, such as Monaco Solar & Electric Boat Challenge.

Currently we are a unique project because we are the first group in the Iberian Peninsula to have a completed prototype. This led us to excellent results on our first competition in Monaco Solar & Electric Boat Challenge 2017.

In what we work in:

Eletric Systems

Reponsible for the energy management, hydrofoils control system, dual motor system, telemetry and database.

Mechanical Systems

They carry the design and production of the hydro-foils struts, transmission sytem, propulsion column and trailer

Hull Design & Composites

Those who make sure our boat floats! They design and produce every composite made piece.

Management & Marketing

Making a competitive boat comes with it's costs. We try to balance efficiency and cost with a low budget.

Our team

The team consists of 26 students from Instituto Superior Técnico. This year the team is once again busy improving our boat. These students DO NOT suspend their studies in order to work on this project although they're fully focused on working on the Solar Boat.
