YAY!!

Today was truly a great day for our group. We were able to meet with Alan again today, and he brought presents for us! Well, not really presents, but he did bring all of the things that he and Revolusun were donating to us! We met after school down at middle school and Alan showed us the really great things that he had for our group. With him he had:
•240 W solar panel
•Peak Point Tracker
•new pump for the fish pond
•2 new batteries
•various wiring
•clips, plugs, and other odds and ends
and our most favorite thing in the world: SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS!

Anywho, Alan unloaded and broke things down simply for our group, telling us the basics of each component of the entire system. He showed us the schematic diagram that he made for us to do on our own, which hopefully isn't too difficult. The diagram shows us how to properly connect the solar panel to the Peak Point Tracker, the batteries, and the fish pond pump.
Our group was truly astonished with all of the things that Revolusun donated to us, we were only asking for a simple solar panel and battery, but they really went above and beyond with providing us with everything that we could possibly need. The least that our group can do to repay them is the assemble the circuit correctly and to have a killer presentation at the end of this unit!
