RMD Energy would like to thank everyone who followed and contributed to the Solar Tracking Challenge. We set out seven months ago with an audacious goal to redesign how solar panels track the position of the sun. This challenge sought to create an immediate drop in the cost of solar, worldwide. Innovators were tasked with creating a Proof of Concept prototype to demonstrate their solution.
We received innovative ideas from around the world and from innovators ranging from amateur inventors all the way to expert professionals. A number of solutions suggested a viable approach; however, no solution was able to demonstrate a proof of concept design.
What's Next? RMD Energy is working with competitor Issac Li to invest in and develop a proof of concept and physical prototype of Issac's idea and create the next generation of solar tracking.
We are excited to undergo the next steps of this journey in collaboration with Issac Li to develop a more economical tracker to reduce the cost of and increase the accessibility to solar energy.
