It must describe the proposed project,

 

          Install Photo Voltaic system from Wanxiang a possible Manufacturing company that have made plans to open a manufacturing facility of solar Panels in Winnebago County Illinois. This will give students from all school systems a place for hands on experience.

 

 

Explain the need for the project

 

          Freedom Field is a show place style training center for all alternative energy systems. Photo voltaic will give students a side by side hands on experience with an operational solar absorption heating and cooling system being installed now.

 

Summarize the total project expenses

          Solar Panel  $3.50 /watt x 1500=$5250.00 (1500 watts of panel)

         

Extra panel for instructional purpose. The reason for extra panels is because an installed and operational system would be hard to use for training. If training panel is bought with system price would be same. If bought individually a large price increase would accrue.

          $3.50 x 180 watts =$630.00

Inverter DC to A/C    $1500.00      

Aluminum Rack System        $1000.00

Electrical Wiring System, Panel enclose and combiner.

 $1500.00 to $1800.00       

Monitoring and reporting equipment. (Only one method will be use, Pre-made or student designed.)

1.      Buy existing system. (example Fat Spaniel)

a.      $3500.00

 

2.      Have a student design system that uses today’s internet option like face book, twitter to share operational data with the other student body and so tax payer can see there  money in action.     $3500.00

3.
