Over seven years, from 1997 to 2003, the team developed, refined and
raced four versions of UNSW Sunswift II. In 2000-2001 the team
embarked on the TopCell project to manufacture buried contact solar
cells to construct a new solar array. This makes the UNSW SRT the
first and only team to have made their own solar cells. Along the way
the team achieved a new world record efficiency for this type of solar
cell. The remaining cells on UNSW Sunswift II are the world's highest
efficiency "PERL" silicon solar cells, made at UNSW. The team also
developed a revolutionary cell encapsulation technique which allowed
it to mould solar panels to the curved shape of the car, another world
first.
