In the two experiments tested, the independent variable was the degree of the solar panel, and the

average temperature, with the dependent variable being the amount of energy collected. As seen on data table A, The Effect of The Solar Panels Angle on Energy collected, the averages for 0, 25, 50, 75, and 90, were 9.94V, 9.866V, 9.798V, 9.71V, and 9.514V respectively. As shown on data table B, The effective of the average temperature of the outside air on the energy collected, the averages for the different temperatures, 50F, 65F, 80F, and 100F, were 9.826V, 10.032V, 9.85V, and 9.912V respectively. As shown on data table A, the ranges of The effect of the solar panels angle on energy collected, the ranges for the 0 was 0.24V, for 25 the range was 0.24V, for 50 the range was 0.27V, for 75 the range was 0.23V, and lastly the 90 range was 0.33V. Data table B, The effective of the average temperature of the outside air on energy collected, showed the ranges of 0.12V for 50F, 0.21V for 65F, 0.11V for 80F, and 0.09V for 100F. Data table A shows the standard deviation is the most for the 90 panel (0.149097284) with the longest error bar, then the 50 panel (0.101587401) with a medium size error bar, next the 0 panel (0.096280839) with an medium size as well, then the 25 panel (0.095026312) with a medium size error bar also, and lastly was the 75 panel (0.088600226) with a small error bar. The standard deviation shown in data table B, started with 65F of the average temperature of the outside air with the lowest standard deviation (0.081055537) and the smallest error bar, next was the average temperature of 50 (0.047749346) and a small error bar, then 80F average temperature (0.049665548) with a small error bar as well, and lastly the 100F average (0.037013511) with a small error like the rest of the temperatures. The line of best fit shown in graph A is y = -0.0043x + 9.9699, which shows a negative correlation between the solar panel

angle and the energy collected. In graph B the line of best fit is y = 0.0004x + 9.8724, which represents a positive correlation between the average temperature and energy collected.
