The solar panels adjust for maximum efficiency each month.☀️
that in 2020, the FRN delivered over 7,500 pounds of food to shelters in the city. This helped the needy and saved the food from ending up in landfills. Now, with a food delivery vehicle that also charges in a sustainable manner, the whole operation has gone greener.The plan to set up a solar-powered charging station for the FRN vehicle came from the University's Office of Planning, Sustainability and Project Management, the press release said.
This was in the fall of 2020 and when COVID-19 struck, all the work on the project came to a grinding halt. The original design featured the charging station to be set up on a trailer so that it could be more mobile. However, issues that affected the automotive sector at large during the pandemic impacted this project as well. Even after waiting for three months, the trailer was not delivered. The team then switched to a stationary system and when facilities at the university reopened, they put together the charging station in the machine shop. , the team aims to charge the EV completely off the grid. The panels work to charge a battery during the day, and then the EV is charged using the battery at night.
To ensure that the performance of the panel is maximized during the day, the panels are aligned to the movement of the sun. But they did not stop there. The team also incorporated 12 settings on the panels so that they are angled to remain the most efficient every month. As the EV makes emission-free deliveries, the team is looking at bringing back the trailer from its original design. Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
