NWTC Solar Flair Project Quick Facts

There are twenty eight solar modules in each panel (fifty six total), arranged in the shape of a “flower.” Each one is triangular in shape.
Sunlight to just one of the modules for five minutes will provide all of the energy needed to run their motors to track the sun.
25% more energy is gained by having the panels track rather than be stationary.
Each panel produces 50 volts DC at 20 amps.
There are four zerk fittings per panel on the moving parts.
Summer vs Winter – silicone performs better when cold therefore more energy will be produced in the winter months.
The modules produce 72 watts each (2,000 watts (2kW) collectively) at peak.
