The MIT Solar 7 team is organized into two groups. The marketing and sponsorship group is advised by industry experts to simplify our efforts at acquiring donations of parts and money. The prototype and design group is advised internally by faculty and comprises of four subgroups:
The first group of material specialists must find the appropriate materials to mitigate the cradle-to-grave waste generated by constructing and destructing the MIT Solar 7 house. The second group of architects generates plans and drawings of the design. The third group of mechanical engineers concerns itself with appliance energy usage and passive thermal storage. The final group of electrical engineers must find a way to meet the electrical demand by providing a grid-ready solar electrical generator and associated power electronics.
