The Maximum Production of Solar Energy

by Lindsey Meyer

Submitted : Spring 2021

Solar energy is a growing, alternative source of renewable and sustainable energy. Solar panels are composed of multiple single solar cells that can be used to convert the sun’s radiation into power. The position of a solar panel, especially during the peak sun hours of the day, can be vital in maximizing the energy produced. To find the most energy produced from a solar panel, we can find our maximum value of power by multiplying the maximum voltage by the maximum current. With this, we can then integrate our expression of power to find the maximum value of energy generated by a solar cell.
