Midnight Sun Solar Car Team Revenue and Competitors

Since its creation in 1988, the Midnight Sun Solar Car Team has consistently pushed the envelope to produce a long line of highway-capable solar vehicles. As part of its mission, the team has continued to promote the research and development of sustainable energy technologies. Midnight Sun alumni have gone on to bring the passion and experience developed on the team to make real impacts in the industry. Midnight Sun proudly represents the University of Waterloo and Canada at both the American Solar Challenge and the World Solar Challenge. These races showcase the design and performance of solar-electric vehicles from universities and colleges around the globe and Midnight Sun strives to bring innovative vehicles designs to the world stage. Midnight Sun is currently working towards the design and manufacturing of their newest vehicle, MSXII. This vehicle will be competing in the cruiser class category, and aims to merge the concept of traditional solar cars with everyday consumer vehicles. MSXII will be competing in the American Solar Challenge in July 2018. The team is currently raising money through a kickstarter campaign to fund the solar cells of MSXII.
