Project Summary
Sun-Tracking Golf Cart’s Roof-Mounted Solar Panel for Improved Performance
Drs. Rami Haddad, Youakim Kalaani, Frank Gross, Department of Electrical Engineering ($2,114.29)
Designed and installed a sun-tracking system for the retrofitted solar panels on Electrical Engineering Department electric golf cart. The sun- tracking system provides the maximum solar energy generated by the solar panels since the incident sun light angle will always be around 90 degrees of the surface of the panel which maximize the effective area of the solar panel that collects energy.
