Solar cell?

[watkinni]

Hello. I've recently started a Science Project for my 8th grade Science class. The topic I chose is "How does the angle of a solar panel effect hoe much energy it will convert. And before I buy one I am wondering What kind of solar cell would give me the most accurate data?

Hi watkinni,

Science projects that work with solar cells are quite popular. There are several projects described right here on the ScienceBuddies web site. All of these projects have been designed and performed by experts in their field, and have experimental materials recommended.

Take a look at the experiments described below. Each of them recommends a particular model of solar panel that they found works well. I'd go for one of these recommended devices.
