Solar+Energy

Below is a report summarizing the what has been learned, what has been done, and some of what yet needs to be completed. This can serve as a resource for future classes that work on this project.

And, here is the final powerpoint presentation summarizing the findings.

Below is the Powerpoint presentation summarizing the findings as of February 28, 2012

Project Charter[Solar Energy Lab]

Description

 * Develop a solar energy lab on Harding's campus with possible applications in Haiti and at HUT.

Objectives

 * Economical Solutions
 * Design for cost-free electricity at school in Haiti
 * Design a system to help educate Harding students (and others) about solar energy
 * Effectively generate enough power to get the water delivery system at HUT working

Outcomes or Deliverables

 * Relatively small system at Harding that demonstrates how solar energy works.
 * Solar power for the water delivery system at HUT.
 * A system designed for Haiti
 * Solar panels incorporated in the roof of the science building.

Critical Dates (subject to modification, these are currently tentative)

 * Haiti system design complete by May 2012
 * Plans for solar energy demonstration and HUT System - mid February?
 * Parts ordered for solar energy demonstration and HUT system by March 2012

Estimated Budget

 * TBD
