Science of Solar – Solar Panel Energy Lab – Student

Summary

The student-facing handout for the solar panel angle investigation, with step-by-step procedure, three data tables for voltage, current, and calculated power output, graphing instructions, five analysis questions, and a structured conclusion. Students identify variables, write a hypothesis, run three trials at four angles, and connect their findings to real-world panel placement decisions. Pairs directly with the teacher guide and works for grades 7-12 in physical science, earth science, or physics.
