Team SOLAREADY
Detailed Design (Testing Phase)
Team SOLAREADY has currently finished the construction of the structure and is finishing up touches on the electrical components. Team SOLAREADY has completed testing and is finsihed with the completed design. This page shows the completed structure as well as the results from the testing performed.
The graph to the right shows the comparison of the Team SOLAREADY design compared to a static system. The blue line represents the designed colar tracker. It is obvious that the Solar tracker captures much more of the suns energy compared to a static system.

The completed structure seen above shows the linear actuator partially extended to show how the device moves.
Testing the system at Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff, Arizona.
