Block Group 4 Ben Adamczak Branden boulerisse 1. Question: How Does Combining PV Cells in Parallel Affect the Electrical Output of the PV Panel? 2. Hypothesis; If more PV Cells are added in parallel, then the electrical output will increase. 3. Materials: 4. Procedure: 5. Table in parallel ||= Volts ||= Distance of Light || 6. Graph on paper 7. Conclusion In general this experiment supported our hypothesis but we had 2 data points that gave us trouble 8. Problems
 * 5 PV Cell
 * 1 Multimeter
 * 10 Aligator Clips
 * 1 Lamp with a 100 watt light bulb
 * 1 Ringstand
 * 1) Place the light on the ringstand 45 cm fromthe table to the light and turn the light on.
 * 2) Connect 1 PV Cell to a multimeter useing aligator clips
 * 3) Record your voltage
 * 4) Repeat steps1-3 until you have 5 PV Cells
 * = # of PV cells
 * = 1 ||= 5.5 ||= 45cm ||
 * = 2 ||= 5 ||= 45cm ||
 * = 3 ||= 5.12 ||= 45cm ||
 * = 4 ||= 5.42 ||= 45cm ||
 * = 5 ||= 5.32 ||= 45cm ||
 * The position of the light so it shines all the PV Cells
 * On PV Cell 2 and 5 maybe wires were not connected good enough
 * The way that we had the PV Cells to each other
