We chose to make this project because...

We are a robo-team and get different tasks from our coach. One of the topics was to make a prototype for a solar system. In our country solar roofs are still a utopia, but in our opinion it should become a must. Every building must have solar roof and even solar walls to sustain itself energeticaly

What we found difficult and how we worked it out

Тo find the right material to build the mechanical part that moves and carries the panel. Assembling the requested mechanism as well

Next time, we would...

We would add at least one more solar panel, mounted to the wall of the house. The perfect prototype would be a house izolated by solar panels.
