In this experiment my partner and I took a small solar panel and shined a light on it and measured how much energy was gathered from the light. Through out the experiment the light and the strength of the light remained the same, only the distance from the light to the solar panel was changed. My partner and I took the light and measured it 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 centimeters away from the light and also with no direct light(with the lights of the room still on). From this experiment we came to the conclusion that the further away the light the less power the solar cells gather.
