The unveiling of the Michigan Solar Car's Astrum was one to remember. Our VP of Product, Nick Strevel, said: "We're excited to see what you can do. This is just the beginning of such a great relationship, & I hope all of you find it as rewarding as we have at First Solar."

The array installation is done! This year, we partnered with First Solar for the first time, gaining access to their expertise and sourcing the best materials. Our team had an amazing chance to install the array in their facility in Perrysburg, Ohio. #UMichSolarCar #BWSC23

For the past two weeks, we’ve been testing Astrum and training drivers on the track and in parking lots. Next up: 🔜 Real road driving! #UMichSolarCar #SolarCar #BWSC23
