JU Solar Team attracts attention at Elmia

JU Solar Team attracts great interest at Elmia Solar, which runs February 4-6.

"We want to be seen and draw attention to our solar car project so that more people know how exciting and important it is, says Alma Jonsson from the solar car team.

Many visitors come to the JU Solar Team's stand at the Elmia Fair to talk to the team members and see the solar car, which was used in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia in 2023. They are interested in the project and curious about how the solar car works.

Many congratulations

“It has been great fun, and many have wished us good luck for this year's competition of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, which is held 24-31 August. Some people told us about solar car projects they have tried to start in other parts of Sweden, but that they have not been able to make it happen,” says Alma Jonsson.

Her solar car colleagues Maja Nyström and Noel Tärnbrant also gave a presentation at the fair about the solar car project and solar cell technology.

Means a lot

This is the second time that JU Solar Team participates at Elmia Solar, but the first time as an exhibitor. They want to broaden their network of contacts and hopefully get more companies to sponsor their solar car project, which Alma Jonsson sees as a win-win situation.

"It means a lot to us, but it also gives a lot back to our sponsors. It is an opportunity for them to be seen in a positive and green context, which strengthens their brand," says Alma Jonsson.
