Submitted : Spring 2011

Given a photovoltaic solar module with specific details, the goal of this project was to determine the total amount of energy that can be produced by the panel in one day. The solution is acquired by using the given equation, some known values (I₀ and b), and with the use of derivatives, integrals, and critical values. The total amount to energy generated by this specific model is 226.598 Joules.
