Evaluate different options for the placement of the solar enclosure. Connect with Chassis, Aerobody, and Electrical teams about different options and considerations.
Considerations
Electrical | Chassis | Aerobody |
|---|---|---|
Wiring length as short as possible to minimize power losses | Not interfering with any other mounting locations (roof panel hinges, trunk hinges, etc.) | Not mounted on un-reinforced areas of the bottom panel (the bottom panel is flimsy in some locations) |
Connectors easily accessible | ||
Not interfering with other electrical equipment (motor controllers, charger, charge meter) |
Other things to think about:
Access for debugging electrical boards when inside the system?
How do we remove the enclosure to debug the boards outside the system?
Options
Present a few options with screenshot locations and discuss pros and cons.
