Spartan Superway Update (4/25)

Last week, I helped the Small Scale Solar Team out by helping them clean/prep their solar panels. Before we went to clean the panels, we first took them outside to test them to see if they worked. We tested three panels which gave us 30V each. After that, we took them inside and started to prep them for cleaning. The solar panels had some thick adhesive on the back so we had to use some Goo Gone to get rid of it. We let the Goo Gone soak into the adhesive before we started scrapping it off. The adhesive was a lot stronger than we thought so it took a long time to clean up three panels. After that, the panels were nice and clean and ready to use. The solar panels have grease on them which is very hard to get off your hands.
