AISCO

Building a solar car is a constant exercise in balancing trade-offs. Two forces are always at odds: aerodynamic drag and solar power generation. Optimizing one often means compromising the other.
Now, imagine yourself behind the wheel of an aCentauri Solar Racing Car, ready to race from Darwin to Adelaide, the Australian sun blazing behind you.
To capture the maximum solar energy, your car should have a large surface area covered with solar cells. But to minimize drag and glide efficiently across thousands of kilometers, it should be sleek and narrow.
The perfect design lies somewhere between these extremes—and finding that balance is where AISCO comes into play.
