Background

This page was added by a Humboldt State University Engineering class January-May 2015:

CCAT (Campus Center for Appropriate Technology) is an appropriate technology demonstration house on the Humboldt State University campus in Arcata, California. Student staff and volunteers work weekly at CCAT to keep it running smoothly. The Greenshed is a building where the workers store tools and work on small projects. The Greenshed solar panel powers a solar lighting system that workers can use to light the shed at night. The solar lighting system was installed in early 2013. There are eight lights powered by the panel that hang inside the shed. CCAT workers would like to use the shed at night, especially when it gets dark early in the day.

Problem statement

The objective of this project is to: -Create better lighting in the CCAT tool shed -Find the best location for the solar panel to intake it's maximum -Replace and fix any poorly functioning or broken equipment
