Weekly Team Update

This week Francisco, Jordan and I agreed to create a spreadsheet of weekly objectives for us to work towards and complete in order to be more organized. As of now, we will continue to research more about available products that can help with our project. Lastly, we are working on the presentation that we are to give the next time Spartan Superway meets collectively.

Weekly Team Update

This week, the Solar PV team delivered our presentation focusing on the finalization of our solar array design, future plans for testing on materials to make sure they're up to snuff, and our plan for acquiring all the materials we need to finish construction. We've divided this all into several parts. 1. Contact various purlin manufacturers and get quotes. Whatever quote we decide is the best for the money, then we will pursue that option. 2. Finalize our solidworks design so that we can size all the pieces properly. 3. Get in contact with the central shop or any 3rd party shop to manufacture a couple of brackets that we need. 4. Reach out to the materials enginering department to gain access to the materials lab and do testing on materials. 5. Finalize any discrepancies that we have with any mis-information that we have. Sticking to this strict guideline, the team will work tirelessly to get everything lined up so that construction can begin immediately.

With spring break next week we are going to be putting in a lot of work to ensure we have a good presentation the following meeting. For the week to come we are going to be generating multiple ideas to implement the clamp and make solidwork models as well as sketches. We will also be researching several racking structures with and emphasis on cost per length. Further information for clamps will be gathered from google patents to help us create several ideas.
