As a part of Global Ties at UC San Diego, I have worked on the Baja Solar project. The goal of Baja Solar is to design a solar-powered water heating system in order to reduce the costs of utilities for an orphanage in Tijuana, MX. We designed and installed the system using a flat plate collector, a water pump, and a control box, and are in the process of implementing and testing.
