SOLAR TESLA CONCEPT
Solar sports car design concept for Tesla that features a solar windscreen — a windshield that harnesses solar energy to power the car.
TECHNOLOGY USED FOR IDEATION
MIT startup, Ubiquitous Energy, is developing clear solar cell technology — the cells use transparent luminescent solar concentrators which enable the creation of solar harvesting surfaces that are invisible to the naked eye.
FORM STUDY
These free-form explorations revolve around the solar windscreen. The goal was to maximize the solar harvesting area while preserving the aesthetic of a sports car and the Tesla brand.
This final form provides a large enough surface area for the windscreen, which goes from the bonnet of the car to the boot, while staying true to Tesla’s aesthetics.
