      Hi, my team and I are currently researching on the design area 3.1 Solar powered specimen tank. I just have a question in terms of integrating solar power.

      1. Is there/will there be existing infrastructure for a solar power system (i.e. battery, panels) at the cultural hub the specimen tank is planned to be placed in?

      If not, will we be expected to modify components of the tank (filtration, lighting) to run on solar energy rather than considering the whole system?

        Hi Glenn,

        The collective hub structure still needs to be put in place. They might be interested in integrating the solar power system to support all the facilities, including the solar-powered specimen tank. You can read more about this at the Vision of a Collective Hub on Country page.

        Yes, the project aims to power the components of the specimen tank using solar energy. Since there is no existing constraint, we’ll leave you to decide the scope of your project. You may narrow your focus on the tank, or consider what will power the collective hub, or present both scenarios as options too.

        I hope this helps.

        Regards,
        Jean
