The project consists of designing a solar PV system to power a [[RepRap]] 3-D printer.\n\n== RepRap ==\n\nThe RepRap is an open-source low cost 3-D printer, which can print small objects out of plastic. What makes it interesting is the community that is already in place and growing for developers on the project.\n\n== Literature Review ==\n\n[[RepRap PV System Literature Review]]\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| description = The RepRap PV system powers printers from sunlight.
