- A. Direct vs. Indirect (at 45 angles) Sunlight:
- NULL: There is no difference in solar energy proficiency between direct versus indirect (45 degrees) exposure to daylight.
- Alternative: There is a difference in solar energy proficiency between direct versus backhanded (45 degrees) exposure to daylight.
- B. Direct Sunlight vs. Shade:
- NULL: There is no difference in sun-based energy proficiency between direct exposure to daylight versus shade.
- Alternative: There is a difference in sun-based energy proficiency between direct exposure to daylight versus concealed one.
- C. Direct Sunlight vs. Filtered Light:
- NULL: There is no difference in sun-based energy proficiency between direct exposure to daylight versus the one exposed under filtered light.
- Alternative: There is a difference in sun-based energy proficiency between direct exposure to daylight versus the one exposed under filtered light.
- 2.
- A. Direct vs. Indirect (at 45 angle) Sunlight:
- Reject null hypothesis because indirect angled exposure to daylight yielded more solar energy proficiency than at direct exposure (p-esteem is under 0.05).
- B. Direct Sunlight vs. Shade:
- Reject null hypothesis because direct angled exposure to daylight yielded more solar energy proficiency than at shaded exposure (p-esteem is under 0.05).
- C. Direct Sunlight vs. Filtered Light:
- Accept null hypothesis direct exposure to daylight yielded a similar sun-based energy proficiency than at shaded exposure (p-esteem is more than 0.05).
- 3. What factors increased and decreased the current generated by the solar cell:
- Angled exposure and full exposure to daylight were the main factors in increases in sun-oriented cell energy generation. Shade was the main factor that might potentially reduce this generation. This could be clarified by the need for solar panels to retain additional photons from normal light which could at times be hindered by shade. Additionally, the sun position changes all day long. Henceforth, truly concentrate on where the sun is on every one of the days, so we could optimize the number of photons hitting the solar panel charger. Not changing the point implies that, in certain hours of the day, just a minimal number of photons could be gathered. Additionally, filtered light yielded a similar amount because with direct exposure and the UV beams were filtered, however, not really the photons expected to produce solar energy.
- Below is an image of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Sun produces radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, but solar panels only use radiation within the visible light range to produce electricity. Most solar cells produce their maximum energy output from light that has a wavelength around 700 nm (nanometers). Do your exercise results agree with this energy output trend? Explain why or why not.
- How could you increase the overall electricity generated by a solar cell throughout the day as the Sun’s angle in the sky changes?
- Based on the overall climate and environment where you live, would solar panels work well for your home? Explain.
- Electromagnetic radiation is classified by its wavelength and separated into different types of waves (nm = nanometers).
