My project is about solar panels and how different temperatures effect the voltage they produce. I chose this project because I found myself wondering if the AZ heat is beneficial for solar panels or not. My results showed, on average, as the temperature rises the voltage increases. This project is important because it can help engineers better understand solar panels in order to improve them while making them more economical, so more people can have access to renewable energy.

It is impressive that you studied something that matters globally. Solar panels are an important part of clean energy solutions, and understanding how temperature affects performance helps engineers design better systems.
