I conducted an optimal design of a solar panel system which achieved 30% reward-investment ratio increase and 28% size reduction compared to the original prototype

 

• Analyzed costumer requirements (cost, safety, durability, etc.) to determine types of solar panels and the batteries

• Improved solar panel holder and folder designs by applying I-beams to the support parts to improve the stability

• Optimized the combination of design parameters (dimension, material, battery parameters, beam parameters, etc.) with Gradient-based and Heuristic algorithm in MATLAB for minimum cost and minimum weight

• Achieved 30% reward-investment ratio increase and 28% size reduction compared to the original prototype
