Twenty teams from around the country convened in the capital city to display their sun-powered vehicles and meet with business leaders interested in energy to make agreements as they look forward to competing in the Atacama Solar Challenge in September.In the desert race cars have to run a 900-kilometre course through Chiles unforgiving Atacama Desert from September 30 to October 2.
