Details

We are looking for groups from engineering, to sustainability, to finance backgrounds to research alternative applications for solar technology. Whether that be research on a new product we are interested in or a specific building looking to transition to solar.


Solar For School Campus

Create a design, pro-forma, and case study for your school to consider a solar project. A group of students will put together the necessary data to submit to our team of engineers and create a design for solar on the property.


Greenhouse Project Exampels:

Create a strong baseline of data for greenhouses to transition their structures from glass to solar. We are looking for research and engineering toward something we can present to potential clients.

Deliverables

We are flexible to what students can provide to Otter Energy . Please reach out if you think you have any ideas.

Solar For School Campus

Create a design, pro-forma, and case study for your school to consider a solar project.


Greenhouse Project Exampels:

The overall project is flexible toward what schools and groups can provide. We are looking to expand our knowledge into a new space and would love to work with students in the process.

  • Researching current logistics of building a greenhouse
  • Researching the needs of a large solar installation (our team will support this)
  • Researching the implementation of using solar panels as roofspace for greenhouses
  • Creating a case study of SWAT analysis and 5 P's analysis of the results
Mentorship

Weekly meetings with engineering and leadership team to answer questions and for the students to provide updates on the projects
