NREL Model Car Comp The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) hosts car competitions that race solar- and battery-powered model vehicles. Middle School teams from all around Colorado participate in this fun, educational, and exciting event every May. Teams work together building cars with guidance from a parent, teacher, or coach to compete in race and design categories. A "Spirit Award" is also presented to one team recognizing good sportsmanship. Building solar- and battery-powered cars requires skills in both math and science. Model Car Competitions The 2013 Model Car Competitions are complete; see the list of winners. Please check back early next year for information on the 2014 competitions. Sources for Model Car Kits and Accessories From the suppliers listed here, you can order kits containing solar cells modules and electric motors, surplus motors, and gears.
