The Array

Thanks to our Sponsors Raymond Foundation Bloomington, IN

Because we are a solar team, we tend to have a lot of solar panels laying around throughout the year. The array was put up this year to put these panels to use. Fronius, a german solar company was hired to mount the panels on the roof and provide a web service. The AP Physics class of 2009 also helped with the mounting. During the school year, they generate 10 kwh of energy a day that goes straight back into the grid to help power the school. During the race weeks, they are taken down and used to help recharge the batteries on the bikes and the car during the half time.
