For our lab, we measured the amount of solar energy needed in numerous different settings in terms of the light. We used tiny solar panels and a flash light that were provided and hooked them up to our robot cars to be read. The first test was done with the distance being zero, meaning the flash light was held directly over the solar panel. We then measured the voltage from the baseline, 5 inches and 10 inches above the solar panel. Following that, we measured the voltage from 5 inches above, but this time we used different color see through paper to measure the difference. All of the figures were then averaged out a put onto a graph for further inspection. Overall, there were some minor fluctuations from 5 inches in terms of voltage and it was found out that the closer the light source, the more effective the solar panels became.
