Progress Update

Our team has been discussing, finalizing and updating the different components that we will be using to make our system. We got to see the solar panel that we will be using and realized that the panel dimensions and weight deviated from our original estimations by a large amount. Therefore, we will need to come with a different way of mounting the panels on the cart such that we can easily fit the four panels on the cart along with the mountable light source we are planning to use.

For the light source, we decided to use a 600 Watt High-pressure sodium light bulb mounted on a fixture.






  • 600 Watt
  • 89,000 Lumens
  • Covers a 6' x6' area
From the image below we can estimate the approximate coverage area of the bulb attached to a fixture.
