Title of Project: LTU Alternative Energy Lab Photovoltaic panels
Type: Research
Guide: Robert Fletcher
In this project Lindsey Mitchell will research the literature on photovoltaic panels. Lindsey will record the her sources in a research journal. After being introduced to the equipment she will collect data measurements of voltage and current that is supplied to the panels. This data will be taken many times at different angles with different temperatures indoors and outdoors. The time spent working with the photovoltaic equipment will be logged on a record sheet. She will also review data that has been taken over the past several years and correlate any similarities or dissimilarities. She will complete a final portfolio summarizing her results, and then present her project at LTU's Open House in April.
