The goal of this project was to promote awareness and education of sustainable energy on a local scale. To achieve this goal, we implemented a solar photovoltaic array at WPI, including a data acquisition and display system. Further, we developed an educational program, for both students and educators, to promote sustainable and solar energy education in schools. Finally, we attempted to ensure the long-term viability of this project by promoting at WPI and in the local community.
