Poly-Élan crowdfunding campaign

It's time to launch our new crowdfunding campaign for 2023. This year, we are asking for your help to finance the purchase of the solar cells used to manufacture our solar panels. Your support will allow the acquisition of a total of 5m2 of solar panels which will ensure the propulsion of our next vehicle, Esteban 11, during numerous international level competitions.
