HERES HOW

1. Take the test car outside on a sunny

day and prop it up on a block of

wood so it doesn’t roll away.

2. Using different blocks, position

the car so that the solar

panel sits at different

angles relative to the

sun.

What orientation

of the solar panel makes

the motor run the fastest?

Optimum tilt of

the solar panel

YOU WILL NEED

→ test car model

→ a sunny day, when the sun is

high in the sky

→ small blocks of wood

The motor runs the fastest when the so-

lar panel is most directly facing the sun.

Because the sun is so far away, its rays

hit Earth virtually parallel to one anoth-

er. When the solar panel’s surface is di-

rectly facing the sun, the light rays hit it

perpendicularly. When the solar panel’s

surface is tilted at an angle to the sun,

the light rays hit it at an angle. The more

perpendicular the angle is, the more en-

ergy per surface area there is. See page
