We're Capital Solar Car powered by Loudoun School for Advanced Studies, a team of high school students building a solar-powered car to compete in the Solar Car Challenge.
We're bringing solar-powered innovation to the road — and making history as the first team from Virginia and the Washington, DC area to enter the competition.
Help us get there. Become a Capital Solar Car sponsor.
What happens when high school students take on the challenge of building a solar-powered car? That's what we're setting out to discover.
The Solar Car Challenge is a hands-on engineering competition that challenges students to design, build, and race solar-powered vehicles. It's an opportunity to put classroom knowledge to the test, solve real-world problems, and explore the future of clean energy and transportation. Solar Car Challenge had a potential audience reach of 1.5 billion people in 2026.
For our team, it's more than a race. It's a chance to turn curiosity, creativity, and hard work into something real.
Competition: Solar Car Challenge 2027
Race date: July 14-21, 2027
Location: Texas Motor Speedway, Fort Worth, Texas
