In the current cycle, our team is working rigorously and diligently on refining our Gen 11 solar car Borealis. Building upon the solar cars that came before us, and innovating upon strategies from our over 20-year long history, Borealis is raring to go at the World Solar Challenge held in October 2023 in the Australian outback.

Loaded with our first monocoque chassis and aluminum suspension system, Viridian was built on a drastic overhaul in design flexibility and strength-to-weight ratio. With a custom battery management system, our first fully software-controlled electrical system boosts both accessible maintenance and reduced system weight. Furthermore, in pursuit of fabricating our most aerodynamic vehicle yet, Viridian's top aerobody is doubly-curved, a challenging but rewarding feat of engineering.

Blue Sky Solar Racing's sixth generation vehicle, Azure, placed 24th in the World Solar Challenge 2011, in the Challenger Class. The design of the vehicle was guided by three requirements: The vehicle must be able to achieve high speeds yet have low power consumption, exhibit great stability at high speeds yet have a low drag value, and have a great safety margin in critical components yet remain lightweight. The vehicle was officially unveiled on August 6, 2011.

Unlike its predecessors, Cerulean was designed as a double-seater vehicle. As a double-seater vehicle, the team was allowed to double the solar array output to 2300W and the motor power output to 13.4 hp. The team was also capable of keeping the vehicle lightweight by constructing a chassis from carbon board rails, thus minimizing the weight at 500 lbs. With construction complete in 2007, Cerulean participated in the World Solar Challenge 2007 and placed 5th in its class, ranking it the highest amongst all Canadian teams.

Looking to improve upon the success of Faust, its successor - Faust II - aimed to strengthen the build of the body and reduce weight, thus allowing it to achieve faster speeds. The team fitted Faust II with a composite fiber cloth body which made it extremely durable while also reducing the vehicle's body weight by 40 lbs. Several other improvements were also made to the battery and motor of the vehicle. Production of Faust II was completed in 2003 and it participated in the American Solar Challenge 2003.

In the design of their third generation vehicle - Faust - the team focused on minimizing drag and weight. Faust was designed as a three-wheeler to minimize rolling resistance and weight. Moreover, the chassis was made of a lightweight hollow tube aluminum space frame which decreased the vehicle's weight to 440 lbs. These design choices made it possible for the vehicle to achieve a top speed of 140 km/h. Construction Faust was completed in 2001 and it participated in two competitions in the same year.

Upon the success of the Blue Sky Project, Blue Sky Solar Racing decided to immediately begin production of an improved solar vehicle – Blue II. With a much greater power output than the Blue Sky Project, Blue II was capable of achieving a top speed of 110 km/h and it was as a key milestone in the technical development of the team. Blue II was completed in 1999 and competed in SunRayce '99. After the vehicle was decommissioned, it served for several years as the main display in the team's community education events in recognition of its milestone achievements.

As Blue Sky Solar Racing's first project, Blue Sky Project served as an experimental effort for the team to learn more about the production of solar vehicles. The vehicle was designed as a single-seated four-wheeler with a weight of 850 lbs. The project was completed in 1997 and was immediately put to test at the Florida SunDay Challenge 1997. The vehicle achieved extremely encouraging results for the rookie team and created a solid foundation and strong motivation for the team to continue developing solar vehicles.
