GE DESIGN PROJECT

The project proposes a new telecommunications station for General Electric, focusing on sustainability and efficiency. The design aims to serve a primary customer, a telecommunications company, while also benefiting rural citizens near Managua, Nicaragua. By utilizing solar and wind energy, the station aims to operate off-grid with a calculated load of 2094.2 Watts. The total material cost is under $120,000, with an installed cost of $142,548. This station emphasizes environmental sustainability and resilience against weather conditions, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
