Solar Energy Can Crusher

This is an Innovation & Enterprise Challenge Funded (IECF) project, which involved the development of a fully automatic can crusher which can help in the recycling process. Better still, it is powered by solar energy, thereby further contributing to environmental conservation. The machine is powered by 120Watt solar panels and 100 AH accumulators.
