PPI Engineering
Build and test a new design for a solar array to generate green energy
Solar Collection Array
We have designed a new type of solar collection array, and we have got all the parts required to build a single prototype unit. Up until this point, the work has all been theoretical, so we need to prove our concept works.
The project would require you to assemble the parts and prove the unit is effective. You would have to run preliminary tests to prove the test rig and unit work. You will need to produce a comprehensive set of instructions to aid our engineers in the final testing of the unit.
