The prototype was finally assembled, however, it failed to function. A few changes were made to the design to correct the faults. The distance between the mirror and solar panel were adjusted. Testing will be done soon to determine whether the new design worked. The wireless charging system was also setup but the transistor blew in the process of testing and so a better design is being considered. In order to find a better design, research into pre- existing circuits will be done. By using a design that has been proven to work, the project can keep moving forward and will be on track to be finished. The ideal situation is that the design of the pre- existing circuit can be replicated through the parts we have available. 

Another consideration is that the resistance of the circuit will have to be modified to fit the current constraints of the system. If we find a circuit with the matching resistance we can match the required voltage to the maximum voltage that the system can take. Through this work, the system should function correctly and the project will be back on track.
