Our project has been selected for a sponsorship from Progress Energy in compliance with their specifications. They require all sponsored senior design projects to incorporate renewable energy or energy sustainability as a part of the design. Since the ABEC project has included a solar panel as a source of renewable energy to be self-sustaining, these specifications have been met. Progress Energy has agreed to supply up to $1500 for parts and labor incorporated in the design of the ABEC project. All component prices and purchases have been documented and reported to the company for reimbursement.
