The Challenge | You are my Sunshine

Create a medium to help people understand energy output from a solar panel, and a tool to plan energy consumption based on expected energy output from solar technologies.

Impact: Our project can have a big impact on astronauts staying on MARS for some period of time because it will make them know, understand and use energy on a smarter way since the electricity production there is pretty limited and its from solar panels which can produce only during day-time.
So basically, this solves quite a big problem by helping astronauts maintain or consume energy on space in a proper way so there will not be so much of wasted.

Creativity: The approach for this project is something unique since there is not such a tool which will be very useful in space.

Product: This tool will make it much easier for them to control their energy consumption, moreover is very simple to use so the astronauts will not waste too much time on trying to figure out the outputs of the tool. This solution is not complete, it will need some time to fully develop because the backend is not that simple.

Sustainability: The idea as a whole is mostly complete so it will be easier for the developing team to implement it since the concept itself is understandable enough.
