How can we build the solar car so it gives us the most power from the solar panel? One way is to try to get the solar panel to produce more current. To produce current, more electrons need to be forced to move inside the panel. If more sunlight hits the solar panel, more electrons are knocked away from atoms in the solar panel and more current is then produced! How can we do this? One way is to tilt the solar panel towards the sun. The more of the sun’s rays hit the panel, the more current will flow and the more power will be.
