This paper will discuss the installation of photovoltaic panels to Lee County's TK Davis Justice Center (LCJC) in Lee County, Alabama in the city of Opelika. This project will establish a message that local governments need to take an active role in increasing energy-efficiency and environmental sensitive building designs while reducing operational costs for its citizens over the long-term. This project...
This study presents the design and fabrication of the Stretched Lens Array Technology Experiment (SLATE). SLATE is a radiation-hardened solar array flight experiment to be flown in the Van Allen radiation belts and provide flight validation for the Stretched Lens Array (SLA). TacSat 4 is due to be launched in September, 2009 into a high radiation orbit (700 km ?? 12,050 km, 63.4??). This orbit will...
This paper discusses the use of solar-powered modular housing for nationwide disaster relief. Auburn University has performed a design study that demonstrates its feasibility for a stand-alone power system on 398 ft2 ??Katrina Cottages??. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, the concept of a ??Katrina Cottage?? to house residents temporarily was funded. They are equipped with energy star appliances and...
Auburn University is working in conjunction with Entech Solar, Inc. to perform a ??direct drive?? experiment using a high-voltage (600 Voc) Entech Solar SunLine concentrator array that has multijunction solar cells coupled to a Russian T-100 Hall Effect Thruster (HET). This may well be the first time a Hall thruster has been run directly from III-V-based multi-junction solar cells and at this high...
