This week, former campus resident Lightyear, marked an important milestone in the evolution of sustainable mobility: a tangible step towards vehicles that can truly harness solar energy as part of their drivetrain.
Through the recent collaboration between Lightyear and Nissan Motor Corporation, Lightyear’s solar roof technology is now being applied in a real-world automotive context — making this innovation visible and scalable.
Lightyear’s progress shows how perseverance, deep-tech innovation and collaboration can drive real change. Pushing the boundaries of mobility and energy is shaping the future of our industry.
