Solar-Powered Automated Composter
Sector: Energy Storage • Location: Butte, Montana, United States
Source: Montana Tech
A solar-powered automated composter designed by mechanical and electrical engineering seniors to regulate composting by automating the turning process using sensors, a driving mechanism, and solar power. The system uses a solar panel to charge a battery powering a motor controlled by a microcontroller, which rotates the compost drum based on a schedule or sensor input.
