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:
Electric 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.
