RENEWABLE POWER SUPPLY SOURCE

Due to our system being located at rural interchanges, where a power grid is often not available for use, the team has decided to use a solar panel paired with batteries to power our electronics. We have selected a solar panel which can produce enough power to charge the batteries which will be used to power the camera, radar, WRONG WAY sign LEDs, controller, and the field hardened computer. Batteries will have sufficient storage to power the system even when the sun isn’t present due to night time conditions or poor weather.

Example of Solar Powered Cabinet

The Raspberry Pi and Arduino would be inside the cabinet with the battery and other electronics.
