Solarmobil Manipal

the team of solar mobil was started in 2011 with a vision of innovating and engineering towards making affordable green technology. our team comprises of 39 undergraduate engineering students from manipal institute of technology. the team is interdisciplinary - consisting of students from mechanical, electrical and electronics, electronics & communication, instrumentation & control, mechatronics, industrial production and automobile engineering. there is an even mix of students from all 4 years which are guided by the faculty of the college. the team is broadly divided into three categories– mechanical, electrical and electronics, and management. each of these has a number of subsystems under it for better organized planning. we started our first project in 2011 with the car freyr1 which was a single seater solar electric vehicle prototype. the idea cropped up while thinking about the global environmental scenario. the depleting fuel sources. the rate of hike of fuel prices is exponent
