Serving Locals: Norwich Engineering Students Develop Solar Panel System
Norwich students take their capstone project into the real world.
What began as a mechanical engineering senior capstone project at Norwich University in 2024–2025 has now become a fully installed 6-kW, 12-panel vertical bifacial solar panel system in Roxbury, Vermont, for John Aberth and Laura Hamilton.
The original prototype was developed by mechanical engineering seniors Megan Juhola '25, Clayton Cisar '25, Demetrius Deering '25, and Khiari Tyler '25, who have since graduated from Norwich, under the mentorship of Professor Illari Vihinen. The project continued the following year with construction management seniors Matthew Harvey '26 and Max Gargiulo' 26, also now Norwich alumni, working on the installation under Professor Mark Atwood. This project was in partnership with Troy McBride and Leif Johnson at Norwich Technologies.
