A01 - VHL-Nordwin Zonnebootteam - NL
The technologies in solar-powered racing are constantly changing. Partly because rules change, more innovation is also allowed in the A-class. This involves, for example, using (much lighter) solar cells instead of (heavy) standard solar panels. In 2017, some teams have already applied this technique. Also, hydrofoils are emerging within the A-class. In order to continue to compete in the top of the A-class in the coming years, we will continue to innovate in new techniques and applications where the focus is also on the use of sustainable materials.

During the DONG Energy Solar Challenge in 2014, Sinnergy Solarteam from ROC Friese Poort Drachten gained a 3rd place in the A-classification. Here a number of members of the team did not want to leave it at all. Out of enthusiasm and passion an own team has been set up: Sunflare Solarteam. Our team consists of four former members of the Sinnergy Solar team and an advisor. With all this experience and enthusiasm we want to promote green energy and achieve good results in the solar boat racing.

A05 - Sinnergy Solar Team - ROC Friese Poort Drachten - NL
With students from the ROC Friese Poort Middle Management Engineering Technology we represent Drachten during the Dutch Solar Challenge 2019! On Saturday, June 1st, 2019 we fell in Akkrum third during the National Solar Challenge. The name originated from the word synergy. Synergy emphasizes the positive side of the cooperation, by joining forces, more can be achieved than with individual work. According to the formula 1 + 1 = 3. The word comes from the Greek word synergy 'synergia "what" cooperation "means.

A09 - Avans Solar Mariteam - NL
The Avans Solar Mariteam launched her first boat in 2014 and competed that year in the DONG Energy Solar Challenge. Two years after her maiden voyage, the team decided to start with the design of a new solar boat. In this project Electronical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering students have been working closely together in the design and realization of the new Avans Solar boat supported by Pebble Green Systems.
Recently first operational tests have been successfully completed and a team of 7 students and some enthusiastic teachers is now working hard to finish the boat in time for the race in Groningen/Leeuwarden in the first week of July. Our main goal for this year is to compete and obtain operational experience with the boat, in preparation for great results in the next year.

A10 - AGH Solar Boat Team - PL
The idea of building a solar boat for the competition in Monaco has been circulating at the Faculty of Energy and Fuels for a long time. In the autumn of 2015, students belonging to the "Eco-Energy" circle together with the Academic Sailing Club started joint activities. They shared their dreams and one goal - participation in the international solar boat competition Monaco Solar Energy Boat Challenge. The various skills of the members helped to create the first team of the team, which in the coming months has grown considerably. The beginnings were not easy, we constantly encountered new obstacles, but we believed that what we do makes sense.

Spectrum Solarteam has started in 2016 after participating in the Sinnergy Solarteam in 2016. Because of the enthusiasm of some members, we started our own team. The team is located in Drachten and consist of 7 members. We try to not only use conventional possibilities, but also try new things on a solar boat! When trying new things, success is not always guaranteed, but positivity and enthusiasm are!

Because of the enthusiasm with which the students completed previous projects focused on solar energy, a teacher asked if they wanted to participate in the solar races. Jim did not hesitate for a moment. "When do you get the chance to build a 'solar boat'?", He says enthusiastically. Every Tuesday the team can be found in their workshop at MBO College Westpoort. We are working hard on the design and construction of two boats, called Maryland and California.
