My project is about comparing Solar Panel energy production in different locations and situations. I choose this project because I have always found solar panels to be really interesting; I think it is fascinating that we've managed to create a devices that produces energy from just staring at the sun. My result or overall conclusion is was that the more direct a solar panel is to the sun, the more energy it produces. My project is important because solar panels are super useful for a lot of different industries. For example, companies that want to reduce operation's cost, regular people that just want to save in their electricity bill, people that want to be cleaner with the environment, and even in space exploration.

The project identifies a practical and relevant need — understanding which conditions maximize solar panel energy output — that connects directly to real-world applications such as home energy optimization and solar installation planning.
