Solar-Powered Energy Storage Design Project Objective

Design an energy storage system, that doesn't use electrochemical batteries, to store energy generated during 15 minutes of sunlight on a 120 Watt solar panel, and, after a 0 - 5 minute pause, recover the stored energy in electrical form, driving an electric motor

Details

Rules

  1. No electrochemical batteries
  2. Manual Switch is allowed
  3. Cannot start with potential energy

Materials

  1. Solar Panel, 120 Watt, 12 volt nominal (Size : 59 by 26 inches. Weight: 29 pounds )
  2. The rest is up to the individual groups. The group budget is less than $400.

Thanks to the sponsor of our solar panels
