  1. The investigation was to find out if you face thirteen solar panels up or down would the number of volts change. The method used to find if the volts would change was to first put the thirteen solar panels facing up then put the solar panels facing down. The test showed that when the thirteen solar panels were facing up it had 15.30 volts and when they were facing down it had 3.06 volts. This means that when the thirteen solar panels are facing up it gets more energy than when the solar panels are facing down.

  2. The investigation was to find out how many volts will 5 solar panels produce? The method used to find out how many volts will 5 solar panels produce was you connect a red with a red, and a black with a black to have one red and black left. The test showed that 5 solar panels will be 5.63 volts. I thought it would produce 6 volts, but it was 5.63 volts for 5 panels. That means that 5 solar panels has a lot of volts and can be useful for phones.

  3. The investigtion was to find out does it mtter what angle you put the solar panel at and will youger the same ammount of energy. The method used was I would angle the solar panel towards the sun and measure the volts with the digital multi-meter. Then I angled the the solar panel away from the sun and then I calculated the volts with the digital multi-meter. My hypothesis was that the angle does matter what the angle is because if you point the solar pnel at the sun I think the solar panel will get more energy. My hypothesis was true, it does matter what angle the solar panel is at. If the solar panel is pointing at the sun I got 1.105 volt but when it was pointing in the opposite direction I got 0.892 volts. This mens that when the solar panel is pointing at the sun you get more energy.

  4. The investigation was to find out if you shake the solar panel while it is in the sun, would the power increase or would it decrease. The method we used to figure out the question was we shook the solar panel while it was in the sun and when we weren’t holding it up to the sun. The power increased by 20%.The readings for shaking it were, 1.30, and for not shaking it was 1.63. This means you should not shake your solar panel.

  5. My investigation was to find out the difference between a artifical light and the sunlight using a solar panel.The method used to find out the difference between those two lights was I used a solar panel and went into a classroom and measured how many volts with a solar panel and measured with a milti-meter.Then I brought the solar panel with me and measured the sunlight with the solar panel and the multi-meter.The test showed that the sunlight had 1.163 volts ant the artifical light had 0.36 volts.My evidence is the sunlight has more energy than the artifical light.

  6. For our first solar cell experiment we put our cell in the sun. In the sun we got 1.31 when we angled it but when we put it away from the sun when it was angled we got 1.26. For are second experiment we faced the solar cell flat to the ground and got .924 ,but when we faced it flat in the sun we got 6.4. So now I can conclude that angle matters and that when you put the cell in the sun you get more heat.

  7. Me and fellow scientist Isaac and Daniel wanted to do an experiment on solar energy .If we pointed the solar panel at the sun how much volt will it raise to we thought that it will rise to: 50 volt? When we did it came up to: 56volts and we wanted to do another experiment .If we pointed the solar panel away from the sun and see how much volts will it raise to it came up to :40volts this means that your solar panel has to be pointed in a perfect angle to produce the most energy.

  8. The investigation was to find out the volts of a solar cell. We held the solar panels to the sun and measured the volts with multimeter. The test showed that there were 1.135 milivolts and 0.500 watts.

  9. The investigation was to find out how many volts it will be if we put the solar panel in the shade. The method we used to find out the question is we left the solar panel in the shade. When I used the multi Digital meter I made a Hypothesis that it would be to measure 0.7 volts. The test showed that the solar panel would get more volts in the sun than in the shade. So if you don’t believe me I’ll give you data from my notebook and I recorded that in the shade you get 0.95volts and the sun you get 1.35 volts. This means that you can get more volts in the sun than that you get less volts in the shade.
