Solar Power - Make the Most of the Sun
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Frontenac, Lennox & Addington | | City: | Kingston, ON | | School: | Calvin Park P.S. | | Abstract: | This project explores the concept of improving solar power efficiency, mainly by keeping them cooler and/or focusing extra light. To accomplish this, arrangements using mirrors and glasses were developed and compared. In conclusion, a solar panel in the sunlight with mirrors reflecting additional light was proven to increase the efficiency, although there are factors which can decide its application, based on location and usage. |
