4. Renewable Energy Sources 1. http://www.conserve-energy-future.com/SolarEnergy.php 2. http://ceramics.org/ceramictechtoday/tag/wind-energy/ 1. Solar 2. Wind

5. What is expected from the design Cell phone base with constant 1.2 kW load operating at -48 VDC Operate using renewable energy in a hybrid system

6. Expectations Continued Renewable Energy Charge Controller Battery DC Loads Converter AC Loads GenSet

7. How does the design meet the project requirements? Create a self-sustaining cell phone tower that will provide a consistent strong cell phone signal using a renewable energy source. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/CellPhoneTower_OR.jpg

8. How we meet the needs of the locals and tourists Providing a cell phone tower Charge cell phones (Kitchen Building) Lighting Waste Energy
