The Natural Magnifier

CSEF · 2014 Alternative Energy (Junior Division Only)

Nathan T. Loafman · Instilling Goodness Elementary School, Ukiah, Mendocino County

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective my project was to see if water would make light more intense to help a solar panel produce more electricity. Methods/Materials Two identical solar panels were placed approximately two inches apart. One with water on top the other without. At five o'clock I measured the voltage of each panel with the same multimeter. Results The solar panel with the water consistently produced the most electricity. The solar panel without water produces less electricity. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion is that water does make light more intense to help a solar panel produce more electricity.

Summary statement

My project is about using water to make light more intense to help a solar panel produce more electricity.

Help received
