InSpire Solar Powered Outdoor Table (SPOT)

Project Description

SPOT provides students with a renewable energy source for students when working outside. It stores solar energy in a large battery bank which is gathered through 4 solar panels attached to the table. It eliminates the need to rely on the normal power grid hence almost eliminating the carbon footprint of 
charging a student's devices. After replacing the faulty inverter and batteries students will be able to work outside while reducing the campus’ carbon footprint.

This proposal directly funds the following. See approved budget for details.
1. Inverter
2. Batteries
