science project solar energyy!?

"Photovoltaic" is the little "solar panel" thing you need to make solar energy do stuff, from making a buzzer buzz, to a windmill spin. It basically turns sunlight into electricity. So thats the word you'll want to Google or Bing.

Look into those things, and kits that use those things, and you will find plenty of solar powered little gizmos out there that you can build/wire yourself.

i did to no like stuff about solar energy?

We Answered:

Just go to Google or Yahoo and 'web-search' solar power or solar energy.
You'll get hundreds of pages.
Just type solar energy into that 'search` box, and away you go.

Solar Panel Science Fair Project Help?

The red V with squiggly line is AC power. That is what the house runs on and is on the output of an inverter, which you don't have. The V with the dashed line is DC power. That is the output of the solar panel, you'll use that for measuring the voltage.

To measure the current, move the red lead to the A plug and move the dial to Amps. Measure across the leads.

You'll see when you tilt the panel at different angles, the output will change as the sun hits the panels straight on.

Please watch this short video showing how to measure panels. http://www.altestore.com/video/video-Sol…
