The announcement of our thesis was told to us a few months ago but up until now the project isn't been fully built due to a lack of money, manpower, and other groupmates doesn't initiate. There are lots of confrontations just to start our thesis and gladly it was started a week ago before holy week. We already bought our components like a solar panel, MPPT charge controller, Inverter, and some steel.
This is the place where the project will be built, it has full of sand and gravel since it was used to build other infrastructure around the campus, besides gravel and sand there's another problem we faced which is the approval of our letter but one of the faculty members didn't let us use the spot since it is a parking lot however, in the end, we got approved but need to change the direction of our solar panel.
Did you spot me? I'm the one wearing a white shirt with Leotempest's name, we start removing gravel and sand, believe me, it's so hard due to the huge amount and also we are working under the heat of the sun but we still keep working since we only had weeks to finish it.
Our other members are trying to talk to those people around the campus with e-bikes since we need participants for our test run. We need to measure the capacity of our project and need how much time it takes to fully charge the e-bike.
The funny part is, even other groups are helping us since they also didn't start their thesis yet, it's fun to do things with accompany since we can enjoy what we do even if it's so exhausting and tiring. We didn't stop digging up until we remove one-fourth of the sand and gravel.
At 6 PM we decide to stop and continue our work tomorrow, my energy got drained and when I return home, my body is aching and I can barely move my muscle. However, I found the day productive even if our other members just sat under the mango tree and ate its fruit, wow they had a huge contribution to our project.
