Background
We are working with the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology on refurbishing their Mobile Energy Operation on Wheels. It was stolen and vandalized so the goal is to make it look appealing and get it operating again. The outside has to get painted in a way that will represent CCAT. Solar panels need to get remounted and batteries need to be bought and installed. In order to ensure a positive energy return on investment (EROI) we are going to have it power the CCAT house. We will be working on this project during the 2012 spring semester and hopefully have the work completed by the end of the semester, in May. The Campus Center for Appropriate Technology is located on the HSU campus; this is where we will be doing all of our work on the project.
Problem statement
The objective of this project is to restore the Mobile Energy Operation Wagon. We will be making it look more attractive by painting it to better represent CCAT. We will also ensure a positive EROI by running the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology on the MEOW.
