Summary/Reader Response Draft #3

 In the article “What are solar light panels and how do they work” (2019), solar panels are introduced and explained in detail. It works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, producing electricity. (Harvey,2022). When connected to the main power grid, the panels power lighting systems in the day, and excess power can be supplied to the grid if available. However, if the panels are not connected to the grid, it will require a backup system. For features, solar light panels are rugged and last a long time. The panels also do not emit toxic greenhouse gases which have adverse effects on the environment. Individual solar cells consist of semiconductor elements and can produce electricity by itself. The cells can be put in different configurations and can be adapted for various power outputs and sizes. Lastly, the panel system composes of “photovoltaic modules, electrical connections, mounting hardware, power conditioning equipment and batteries for

Design summary draft 1

  In the article “What are solar light panels and how do they work”, (Team ProductLine, 2019), solar panels are introduced and explained in detail. With applications in both public and private sectors, these panels consist of photovoltaic modules that convert solar energy into electrical energy. When connected to the main power grid, the panels power lighting systems in the day, and excess power can be supplied to the grid if available. However, if the panels are not connected to the grid, it will require a backup system. For features, solar light panels are rugged and lasts a long time.

Self Introduction letter

 Self Introduction Dear Mr Brad, I am writing today to introduce myself to you and the class and provide more information about myself. I graduated with a diploma in Aerospace Electronics from Temasek Polytechnic in 2020 and attended Anglo-Chinese School(Barker Road) in secondary school. I was attracted to mechanical engineering due to the broad yet useful spectrum of modules that can be applied to many aspects in the future. I feel that my communication strength would be my language use, as English has been my strong suit. My mother is an English teacher in a local primary school and so basic English has been ingrained in me even as a child. This has helped me through my education, allowing me to easily learn in my English subjects and modules. However, I feel that a weakness I have is a tendency to write my essays without planning beforehand, which can lead to a disjointed and confusing essay, especially for longer reports and essays. An example would be my final internship repor
