Week 2

We reviewed the previous design files from Dr. Furman. We did some research on solar panels and read some related papers to have a better understand about our sub-project. In addition, we discussed about our team's goals and addressed some potential challenges that we may have to face during the design process.

Besides, we have our schedules available for outside class team meet up and a google doc to document our process. A Gantt Chart was also created for an optimal time management throughout the semester.

Followings are our team's design goals

  1. Easy to overhaul, retrofit, and maintain.
  2. Able to withstand tough/heavy conditions, such as winds, storms, vibrations, etc.
  3. Able to meet all ESD Safety requirements.
