Mechanical Requirements

  • Rear/Side “mirror” View Cam

  • Speedometer km/h + mph

  • Battery Life/Power consumption/Vehicle Range

  • Drive Mode (Parked, Reverse, Drive)

  • Turn Indicators

  • Cruise Control (is this more battery intensive or more useful for conserving power)

  • Charging (via sun, is the array working)

  • Lights (DRLs on, fog, high beam)

  • Clock/time (could be solved by driver wearing a watch)

  • Whatever indicator that relays to telemetry that the mechanical side is connected

  • Errors Lights?

Solar Array

There exists a need to determine if 4m^2 of the Maxeon Gen 3 Solar Cells provide sufficient energy to power all of MSXV’s functions.

Power Intake from Cells (over a XXhour span) - Power Output (to drive max distance) = Net Power

  • If Net Power > 0, Cells are sufficient

  • If Net Power <=0, Cells are insufficient and replacement is required

This study is a necessity because the challenger vehicle is not permitted to contain a secondary charging method, and therefore we are limited to the power generated entirely by our solar array.
