Solar Energy Experiment

On Monday, we conducted an experiment that focused on solar energy. We ran a series of tests to gauge the voltage vs. distance. Then we ran tests with different colored film to see how much voltage got through the film onto the solar panel. The distances we used as a group ranged from 0-5 inches. The closer the light was to the solar panel, the higher the voltage was. As the  distance grew, the voltage became smaller. The three colored films we used were blue, pink, and teal. You would think there would be less voltage when we used the blue compared to the teal, but the average voltage of the blue was much higher than the teal.
