Introduction:<\/h3>\n

You can get electricity from the sun using solar cells.\u00a0 That means it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas production by using electricity from sunlight.\u00a0 But many things can affect the amount of electricity from solar cells.\u00a0 Here are some things that will do that: trees, houses, clouds, time of year, and where you live in the world.<\/p>\n

Question:<\/h3>\n

For this project we want to find out what is the best angle for generating the most electricity using solar cells<\/p>\n

Hypothesis:<\/h3>\n

I think the best angle is when the solar cells are perpendicular to the light source.<\/p>\n

Experiment:<\/h3>\n

With my dad’s help, we built a test fixture using the following equipment and materials.<\/p>\n
