Hello everyone,

The solar tracking team has been continuously working on the prototype that the manufacturing subteam created. We attached the two solar sensors and were able to test them out in the outdoors. When the test was conducted, the weather was a bit cloudy so we did see that the sensors were not 100% accurate. In the coming weeks we will prepare tests that can evaluate whether these errors are significant and we will also be testing other aspects of our sensor setup to determine which setup yields the maximum power output from our panels.

We have also decided to reevaluate our teamwork and to decide on ways we can improve and work better as a team. Through anonymous surveys, we examined the problems within the team and decided to implement some changes. We are all excited for the coming weeks and the coming challenges.
