Week 9


This week has been centered around getting into more details about our project with other companies, and getting their feedback. We were able to see which firms were truly interested in our project as compared with others. To do so, we asked a series of specific questions outlined in our group presentation to assess the need for solar optics based active panels in residential areas. This led us to get in touch with one of the most specialized firms in the field of water preservation: Solar City. Solar City is partnering with Tesla for its home solar installations. We were able to get in touch with an energy consultant to talk about our innovative strategy for implementing our specific type of solar panels in homes around the US.

    Looking for more detail. I know you guys are doing the homework. Please ping me when you've built out this blog on the basics of:

    - How many customer interviews
    - What did you learn?
    - Issues and insights
    - Plans for these 2 weeks

    Thanks, RR

      Hello Professor,
      Are you looking for more details in this particular week 9 post or are you referring to the blog in general?

    It is great that you were able to get in contact with an industry professional from Solar City. One thing that my group had trouble with was being able to speak with someone as we often did not get a response or could not get in contact with the right person. Do you have any advice?
