Student-Designed Solar Photovoltaics Investigation – Student Handout Part 3

Summary

Students design their own controlled experiment to test how one factor, such as tilt angle, shading, or temperature, affects PV performance, then submit a full lab proposal for teacher approval before testing. The handout walks through research question, variables, hypothesis, materials, and procedure with clear requirements for each section. Pairs with the teacher guide as Part 3 of the solar PV efficiency investigation.
