Photovoltaic Senior Design Competitor
Laramie, Wyoming, United States
My team was selected to compete in 9H Energy’s $5,000 Engineering Senior Design competition. Over the course of the Fall 2020 semester we researched, developed, and submitted a technoeconomic proposal on the best photovoltaic technology. Once completed we won the competition and our report influenced the design and construction of the Research Foundation’s 0.5 MW solar generation/storage facility. For the Spring 2021 semester, 9H Energy selected our proposal to build a solar photovoltaic… Show more My team was selected to compete in 9H Energy’s $5,000 Engineering Senior Design competition. Over the course of the Fall 2020 semester we researched, developed, and submitted a technoeconomic proposal on the best photovoltaic technology. Once completed we won the competition and our report influenced the design and construction of the Research Foundation’s 0.5 MW solar generation/storage facility. For the Spring 2021 semester, 9H Energy selected our proposal to build a solar photovoltaic prototype that will be used in the energy systems research at the 9H facility. We developed two prototypes for a techno-economic analysis of solar potential in Laramie, Wyoming. Show less
