1. Status Report #7 Portable Solar Power Supply Team# 13 Eric Camacho John Michael McLeod Ky Dinhquoc Nguyen Kelechi (Kc) Nwogu 03/23/2011

2. Need & Milestones A portable solar power supply that will use solar energy with a solar tracker to power AC and DC devices. Finalize design & order parts (by 1/22) Build inverters (by 2/7) Program microcontroller and build prototype (by 3/15) Build solar tracker (by 3/22) Assembly entire circuit (by 3/29) Test and make final adjustments (by 4/04)

3. Recently Completed Currently on testing phase for the inverters ◦ DC/AC inverter (Tested, lacks power). ◦ DC/DC inverter  USB (Tested, works).  Cigarette lighter (Tested, works). Finished website. 15W Monocrystalline Solar Panel ◦ Downsized due to weight and size

4. Ongoing/Pending Tasks DC/AC Inverters ◦ Needs more power. Build user interface ◦ Simplified from original design Build solar tracker

5. Upcoming Tasks Completion of solar tracker Finalizing system control interface Prototype final design Testing Final report
