SOMO-Solar. Mobile: A Smart Solar Generator Control Unit

The purpose of this project is to create a Smart Mobile Solar Generator. The SOMO mobile solar generator is intended to replace noisy, fossil fuel based gas generators with a high output quiet renewable energy generator. Under normal operating condition one device such as this could save 360 gallons of gas annually and remove the necessity to constantly refill fuel tanks further saving fuel from transportation costs of delivering fuel. The Solar Generator Control System uses sensor input data from a rain sensor, a temperature sensor, a light sensor, a voltage measurement and current measurement. This allows the device to self deploy and retract depending on the weather conditions or time of day. The control system also uploads the recorded data to an on-board HTTP server made accessible via wireless connection on a LAN.
