designs including a suitcase based portable PV deployable array with inverter for AC, DC source
and batteries.
1994-1995 Systems Engineer, SEDI (Solar Energy Development International): installation and debugging of the hardware and software required for open loop control of a 300 sun concentrating 1kw experimental photovoltaic array. This array of twenty modules was based on a module consisting of a 0.2" x 0.2" gallium arsenide chip at each of the two focal points of each module. This system was amazingly robust for such a complex mechanism. Accurate to 0.1 radian in tracking. This device was often left tarped from the elements for months at a time. When uncovered and awoken it would immediately find the sun and stay within it's 0.1 radian limit.
