PPI Engineering
Build, test, and assess a new design for a solar collection array.
Solar Collection Array
PPI Engineering have designed a new type of solar collection array, and have got all the parts required to build a single prototype unit. You will complete the assembly of the collector and run tests to prove the collector works. Once the system is functional, you will run tests to assess the systems efficiency. You will be responsible for collecting data and supporting our engineer in analysing it. You will work along side our engineering team who will assist you in achieving the outcome.
You will create a report on the construction and effectiveness of the solar cell. You will also present your findings to the team at PPI Engineering.
