The purpose of the experiment was to find the best angle of the solar panel for maximum efficiency,

and what is the best running temperature of the solar panel. The hypothesis for the solar panel is, if the temperature outside is cooler and the solar panel is at an 0 degree angle, then the solar panel will not overheat and it will receive more sunlight throughout the day, because the panel will be facing the sun longer and it will be exposed to less heat throughout the day helping it not to overheat. The experiment was presented and executed in the way shown because it was the most practical because of the simplicity but also the most accurate. The two independent variables were chosen because the variables are two of the most crucial variables in deciding how and where to place solar panels in order for the most energy, which is why the dependent variable is made to be the energy collected, because solar panels are to be energy sources. The hypothesis stated is correct but also incorrect. The solar panel collected the most energy at an angle of 0 and the most energy at 65F. The hypothesis predicted the degree of the solar panel correctly, but did not predict the temperature of the outside air, the hypothesis stated the coolest temperature would collect the most energy, but the prediction was incorrect. The data suggests the solar panel being at an angle of 0 received the most sunlight throughout the day, collecting the most energy (9.94V as shown on the energy collected on solar panel angle table as an average), and the temperature at 65F was a mild temperature that was the best collecting temperature for maximum energy (10.032V as shown on the energy collected on the average outside temperature table as an average). The effect of the solar panels angle on energy collected, the averages for 0, 25, 50, and 90, were 9.94V, 9.866V, 9.798V, 9.71V, and 9.514V respectively. The effect of the average temperature of the outside air on the energy

collected, the averages for the different temperatures were, 50F, 65F, 80F, and 100F, were 9.826V, 10.032V, 9.85V, and 9.912V respectively. The averages of the two data samples mean the most likely amount of the energy collected according to the independent variable. The ranges of The effect of the solar panels on energy collected were, 0.24V for the 0 panel, 0.24V for the 25 panel, 0.27V for the 50 panel, 0.23V for the 75 panel, and lastly 0.33V for the 90 panel. The ranges of the effect of the average temperature of the outside air on energy collected, showed the ranges of 0.12V for 50F, 0.21V for 65F, 0.11V for 80F, and 0.09V for 100F. The range of the data gives the value of the difference in the amount of energy collected from the highest and lowest values. The standard deviation was low throughout both experiments, staying under five, with average standard deviation of both experiments at 0.08289733377778, which indicates that both data points tend to be very close to the average. The standard deviation is the most for the 90 panel with the longest bearable, then 50 panel with a medium size error bar, next the 0 panel with a medium-size as well, then the 25 panel with a medium size error bar also, and lastly was the 75 panel with the small error bar. The standard deviation started with 65F of the average temperature of the outside air with the lowest standard deviation and the smallest error bar, next was the average temperature of 50 and a small error bar, then 80F average temperature with a small error bar as well, and lastly the 100F average with a small error bar like the rest of the temperatures. The smaller the error bar the better, because the error bar shows how close the amount of energy collected is clustered around the mean of the data. The line of best fit shown in the energy collected on solar panel angle graph is y = -0.0043X +9.9699, which shows a negative correlation between the solar panel angle and the energy collected. In the energy

collected on average outside temperature graph the line of best fit his y = 0.0004X +9.8724, which represents a positive correlation between average temperature and energy collected. The line of best fit shows the slope of the graph predicting values of y. The research done in the experiment helps the world collect energy more efficiently, for the same amount of effort, it also creates a more costly efficient way of collecting energy, getting more out of less products. In the past year another test administrator answer the same question what he concluded was at the solar panel collected more energy when it is your degree angle and collected the most energy at 60 to 70F, named Jeffery Kordenbrock. Constants unaccounted for included the sun is moving around this guy throughout the day, created shading areas, and the clouded patches in the sky. More tests should have been taken, but not enough time was accounted for during the planning and the execution of the project. 10 or more trials wouldve been more practical. All variables shown in the experiment made the most sense in the real world to increase productivity in energy collection. All of the tools used during experiment are the most accurate tools made for the experiment. Some human errors possibly made during the experiment, or the solar panels not being directly in the sunlight, the data collection not been executed at the correct time, and the solar panel not being correctly set up. This experiment was done again, the solar panels would have been placed in a more open environment away from any objects blocking the suns rays. If one variable have to change, the variable would be the independent variable of the degree of the solar panel and outside temperature, to the kind of solar panel. The variable will give an even better understanding of the most efficient way to get clean energy.
