Nuna 12s

Nuna 12s represents a milestone in the Brunel Solar Team's legacy. This year, we competed with our self-developed motor, paired with an innovative solar panel featuring highly efficient cells. The design of Nuna 12s proudly showcases the Big Five, symbolizing our fifth participation in the Sasol Solar Challenge. Each animal reflects a core value of our team: the lion stands for leadership, the buffalo for invincibility, the leopard for speed, the rhino for resilience, and the elephant for wisdom. Together, these elements highlight our commitment to pushing boundaries in solar technology and teamwork.

In September 2024, the team competed in the Sasol Solar Challenge, renowned as the most extreme solar race in the world. This eight-day event takes participants across South Africa's breathtaking landscapes, testing their endurance through varying weather conditions. The objective is to cover as many kilometers as possible on the route from Johannesburg to Cape Town. With Nuna 12s, the team successfully completed 4191.1 kilometers, securing an impressive 3rd place finish.
