Completion!!


Today my father and I spent a while after school working on making sure that the solar panel was wired properly to the motor and batteries. It turned out that we were about 50% correct. He had to help me fix a couple of things, such as tightening wires and rewiring some of the wires. There were a few wires that could have been wired better and could have improved the flow of electricity throughout the system. We also discovered that there was a mistake in the schematic labeling, mislabeling where the pump was located which was easily fixed. We were able to wire the entire thing properly and even able to test it out afterwards, which was a success. The motor ran properly. The only thing left to do for our project is to implement it and test how it runs when being completely powered by the solar panels and batteries.
