Note:
SAMs 1.1.1, 1.3.2. Research on the energy production of photovoltaic cells. The project will provide noise-free and zero-emission charging power to the university and city community as well as EVs traveling between Houston and Dallas. With the increasing importance of renewable energy resources in present and future energy scenarios, an ability to design and analyze further solar PV energy systems becomes essential for engineering and technology educators and students. Students are expected to experience challenges on welding, precise joint cuttings, and drilling of the metal frame. Permanent installation of charging stations in the project location and placing ballasted ground racks and grounding rods for both PV charging units are other challenges that students will be experiencing. Lastly, the students refined their technical knowledge and communication skills by professionally working with University and City of Huntsville officials, and finally experienced the positive benefits of effective teamwork.
