Stella Terra represents a real innovation in the automotive sector. We are talking about a solar car, designed by the prestigious University of Technology of Eindhoven, which completed a 1000 km off-road route through Morocco > and the Sahara, all on a single charge.
The lightweight, aerodynamic design of the Stella Terra is no match for your needs. It was designed to win awards dedicated to aesthetics. Instead, the two-seater car with an olive green bodywork aims to overcome technological limits.
Wisse Bose, the manager of the team behind the project, said: “Stella Terra is It was designed to face the most demanding challenges. difficult, ensuring efficiency and being light enough to be powered by the sun.” In fact, most of the components, from the suspensions to the inverters for the solar panels, were designed specifically for Stella Terra.
UP TO 710 KM OF AUTONOMY ON SUNNY DAYS
With speed maximum of 145 km/h, the particular vehicle weighs 1200 kg and offers a maximum range of 710 km on a sunny day. This is reduced to 550 km in off-road conditions, depending on the terrain.
However, one of the most important data impressive concerns the efficiency of the solar converter: it is capable of converting 97% of the sunlight absorbed by photovoltaic cells into electricity. This efficiency exceeds the team's original expectations and provides plenty of energy to charge devices such as smartphones or electric stoves for camping.
Bose described the driving experience of the Stella Terra as extremely comfortable thanks to the its low weight. “It doesn’t get stuck easily and we hope it will serve as an inspiration for large manufacturers like Land Rover and BMW, pushing them towards a more sustainable automotive industry. sustainable,” said the team manager.
Although the solar car can rely on the sun for its main energy source, on cloudy days or for short journeys it is you can rely on its rechargeable lithium battery. However, it is It is essential to underline that Stella Terra is a non-profit project, therefore not like Lightyear 0. The total budget invested in its realization is not been revealed yet.
