- 36%Efficiency increase when compared to a static panel
- 5+Full days sitting in the lab figuring out breadboards
- 3+Offhand suggestions from the TA that made me go “Oh!”
Depth
TL;DR
Intuitively, it makes sense for a panel to angle towards the sun to capture more energy. But is it actually more energy-efficient? We built a system to put that to the test.
