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.
