Challenge 1: Planet-Friendly Power

Top 10 Finalists:

Low Cost Solar Panel Solution

Entry Period 7:01 a.m. P.D.T on March 29, 2022 - 07:00 a.m. P.D.T on May 1, 2022.

Finalists Announced on or around 5/16

Your solution should lower the cost of clean energy, through energy harvesting and/or storage efficiency improvements.

Clean energy is a powerful way to combat climate change and reduce emissions, but it comes with its own challenges, specifically the cost of building and installing facilities like wind or solar farms. For this challenge, we want you to focus on minimizing the costs around building and installing clean energy solutions. This extends to the way energy is stored as well, to maximize the efficiency of the entire infrastructure.

This could look like:

MPPT circuits for solar setups
Battery arrays with charging monitors
DIY wind or water power generating systems

Yes, in the 'Submit project to' menu, select 'Supplyframe DesignLab: 2022 Hackaday Prize' first, and it should automatically add to Planet Friendly Power when submitted.

I have difficulty submitting my project. https://hackaday.io/project/178177-solar-harvesting-into-lithium-ion-capacitor. After I click on "Submit project to...", and "Planet friend power" and then "Submit my project" I get following error message "Please submit your page to the Hackaday Prize" and it is not submitted. Can you help?

Are you sure? yes | no
