SolaSystem
My final for my Sustainable Energy is the SolaSystem, which was co-created with Justin Downs & Florica Vlad. It’s a solar powered amplifier to be used for guitars, mp3 players, computers, or whatever you want. Right now, it’s at 14watts power at 16v, give or take 1amp, but we’re gonna upgrade the amplifier to a class D amp that’s more efficient and powerful. The panel outputs more volts and amperage than was listed, so we installed a voltage regulator to control how much power we’re feeding the amp. The sound still gets a little fuzzy at points. The current amp just needs to go.
Here’s some videos of the SolaSystem in action.
