Solar Panels 3: Increasing Efficiency with Angles.
by Peggy Lord
Students will increase efficiency of the solar panels by using angles. Students are given a solar panel, protractor, and a multimeter. They need to complete a pre- investigation plane before they start. Using the lab materials given they conduction an investigation to determine a best angle for the most voltage.
