Monica, UR - Results are in!

So far I have about 20 good days of data. I'm still trying to collect as much data till the presentation so my graph may be a little different than this one. I know it's a little difficult to see but on the power point it will be bigger. I will be making other graphs too. One for each angle with Volts. One for each angle with Amps and one graph to see if there is a correlation between outside temperature and the powering be produced. If anyone has any recommendations or want to know anything else let me know!

As you can see, my scientific question has been answered. My solar panel at 25 degrees produced the most energy everyday. The panel at 44 degrees was in second place and the one at 0 degrees was in third. You can also see the spike in energy produced between April 12-13th. This was the "enhancement" due to the reflection of the clouds and the suns rays. This is also one of the days I got an error on the 44 degree angle due to clouds partially blocking the sun.

QUESTIONS: Garth: Section 201 - Do you know if any studies have been done to artificially create           this "phenomenon" to enhance solar production? If not is it even possible?

Hey Garth, there are some "control" solar experiments but light source from light bulbs are very different from the sun. I actually went to the Florida Solar Energy Center this Tuesday and asked a Ph.D student about your question. He said it's not really possible. They can use other light sources but It's just not the same as the sun. They can not recreate the reflection that the clouds do.
