2/20/2012 - Started some of the interesting work of putting the Solar Panel frame on top of the ARK. Basically, the idea here is that the panels will rest on this triangle frame hinged at along the top. The reason behind this design is the direction of the sun; whether it's to the left, right or above the ARK, the panels can be manipulated to either both face one side, or flat out to receive the sunlight from above.
Had to come up with some interesting solutions. See the below pictures for concept, and progress.
The Solar system will provide some of the power necessary for the electrical system. More on that later.
Until next time, pack your gear, grab a friend, and... Let's get to work.
