Description
Solar panels need their own special PCB! These PCBs will be a little special
Tasks
A list of sequential tasks for the chapter - the chapter is complete when all tasks are complete
- [x] Figure out the PV cell’s schematic symbol, footprint, etc. (you probably have to reach out to the manufacturer about it)
- [x] Create the schematic using Altium :D
- [ ] Design PCB layout (work closely with mechanical to confirm physical dimensions and material)
- [x] Re-estimate the weight of the board
- [x] Estimate the weight of the board
Notes
Space for research notes, open questions, progress logs
