What happens in the race?
Panasonic is supporting the Tokai University team's participation in the 2011 World Solar Challenge to be held from October 16-23, 2011. We are going to report by video continuously every week on Tokai University's race towards the finish line. Stay tuned!
We are happy to introduce the Panasonic's report of the main race of the World Solar Challenge 2011! The race starts around 8:00am every morning and finish running at 5:00pm every evening. If there were no Hotels near the place where the team arrived at the time 5:00pm, they have to spend over night there. The race needs all crew's "tough" physically and mentally.
Moreover, the car also needs toughest. While driving, the car keep challenging a fever. Heat affects the power generation efficiency of solar panels.　However, Panasonic HIT Solar panels have resistant to heat. HIT would be able to exert its power for the Tokai Challenger2, or not?!
