This project is a collaborative effort between the Art, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments at University of Central Florida to design a solar sculpture for our sponsor Orlando Utilities Commission. We created a 1/8th scale working model that implements the lighting, solar power system, the collection of energy production data, and the display of said data on a web app. In addition to this we created a dual axis solar tracker with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), stepper motors, motor drivers, and light sensors.
