This month I have come up with a new idea of what my circuit should look like and it includes a series-parallel setup which should give the desired output of just over 10 watts.

This month has been very mentally challenging. It has taken a lot of thought when it comes to design and circuitry. Design has a very nice template to work with, however incorperiating my bms' may be way more challenging than I'd thought with my desired battery configuration. I've included a sketch of my desired configuration along with some general sketching.

After lots of research, I have decided to go with a 2-piece design as one will be a reversible plate for changing input/output with the use of metal contacts. I have also decided to use more solar panels by adding hinges for a more compact design. The demo of 3D-Printed hinges is shown with this model.
