This week we received some very exciting news from our wonderful next era liaisons! Next era is currently in the process of securing some kind of licensing/patent for our Solar Safe solution. Sasha and Aayan are working on figuring out the coordinate system of our GIS model and aligning that with in field measurements. We are still collecting some data for our validation plan from various sites and hope to have that very soon. Sarah is working very hard on finishing up the in lab testing and we believe this will be complete in the next week or so. Finally, the Philips are working on finalizing their plans for grounding and working closely with our coach Baoyun.
