CSEF · 2015 Product Science (Physical) (Junior Division Only)

Overview

Objectives/Goals My goal/objective is to figure out if solar panels work better in Artificial Light or Natural Light. Methods/Materials My materials were one DCV meter, a solar panel, and one light bulb. Results My results were that solar panels work better in Natural Light than Artificial Light. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion is that solar panels work better in Natural Light than Artificial Light. My discussion is that I think that solar panels work better in Natural Light because Natural Light produces more light than Artificial Light.

Summary statement

My project is about figuring out if solar panels work better in Artificial Light or Natural Light.

Help received

My Mom helped me with my graph, and my Dad helped me wire the DCV meter.
