BackgroundThe Solar Project works to develop projects to educate our members and the public about solar energy. In Fall 2018 we began designing a solar powered boat that carry different sensors to conduct water quality tests remotely at different locations on bodies of water. The vessel will be adaptable to hold different sensors to be able to test for pollutants or nutrients relevant to the body of water. Our hope for this project is for it to be able to increase the availability and access to water quality data for bodies of water in the area.
Our past projects include a stationary solar phone charger, a mobile solar phone charger, and a solar powered smoothie cart. These projects allow us to connect with the rest of the student body and give us experience in structural and electrical design. |
