After years past, by the end of 2012, these passionate students decided to officially form a research team. Consisted of second and first year students, they optimist to join DONG Energy Solar Challenge in 2014. They spent 2 years to develop and build the very first boat, Jalapatih I that later became the one and only participant from South East Asia in DONG Energy Solar Challenge 2014.

⁰³

Maturing

In 2014, after recruiting newcomer students, the second generation team was formed. A great leap in boat development and innovation occurs. The second boat, Jalapatih II was designed to have a semi- trimaran hull and use fiber carbon as the main composite material. Jalapatih II performance had been tested in Dutch Solar Challenge in 2016.
