I wonder…
How efficient are the solar panels in the SMART lab?
Are they taking in all of the sun’s energy possible?

A little background
• Reaching Earth: 1400 Watts/m2
• Solar spectrum: Ultraviolet, Visible, and Infrared
“The amount of solar energy that falls on the Earth’s surface in 40 minutes =the total annual energy consumption of all the world’s people.” –Texas Solar Energy Society

How do we measure effectively?
Area of material intended to absorb light (m2)Ascertain the amount of energy that reaches
that specific surface. (AKA Irradiance)
But…Light can be at different intensities at
different times of the day.the answer is…
Insolation = Power x Time / Area

Our approach
3 sensors to implementRecord and average data at certain time interval
Transmit data over Freescale’s THREAD protocol to server and upload data to web page
Budget (for one array):<$50
