Abstract

When fishermen go on extended fishing or recreational trips, they use 12VDC batteries to charge various loads: such as fish finders, LED lights and cellular devices. The main objective for team "The Solars" is to provide an alternative source of power in the form of a solar battery charging station for kayakers who need to recharge their 12VDC batteries. The design incorporates many different features, including an automated solar tracking system that helps optimize the time to charge the battery, a custom charge controller and a universal mount system that can be used on different kayaks.
