  • Abstract
    The aim of this Project is to provide electricity to areas which aren´t close to the electrical grid, or other spaces where we dońt want to depend on it, using PV panels to generate the required power. Furthermore, the exterior design was an important part of it because the structure was wanted to be functional, but also visually attractive. That´s why the exterior structure was given the shape of a tree, whose leaves are solar panels so the design integrated science and nature, not causing a big impact on the environment. The generated current will be stored in Li batteries, using a complex module called BMS (Battery Management System) which will decide if the batteries should be loaded or not, and will run through a 24V DC Bus to connect the services we want to offer: adjustable light, depending on the ambient light using one LDR as sensor, USB charge port and floor heating using an interesting system called Heatflow. This design can be as personalized as we want it to be, so many different services could be provided instead of the ones previously mentioned.
