SCROLL TO ASSEMBLE
A solar car is more than a vehicle. It is a place to turn curiosity into practical experience.
HelioTech brings Temple City High School students together around solar vehicles. Our work connects engineering, fabrication, business, and outreach through the challenge of building a car that runs on sunlight.
Students take on real responsibilities, from designing components and wiring systems to finding partners and preparing for competition.

IN DEVELOPMENT / 2027
HelioTech’s planned move into the Advanced Division brings a carbon fiber monocoque, student-designed suspension, and hub motors into one new vehicle.
A monocoque chassis forms the vehicle’s core.
Student-designed systems connect chassis and road.
An efficient drivetrain turns stored energy into movement.
The four-seat Cruiser earned HelioTech’s second consecutive Cruiser Division championship at the Solar Car Challenge.

01STTechnical and operations teams.
A shared commitment to making it work.
Chassis, suspension, steering, and brakes. Translate a design into a working machine.
Molds, carbon fiber layups, and bodywork. Build the surfaces that give the car its form.
Battery systems, motor control, wiring, and solar arrays. Connect sunlight to the drivetrain.
Sponsor outreach and grant writing. Build the relationships that support the team.
Photography, video, newsletters, and community events. Share the work beyond the workshop.
