Analyse a school's solar data

What you did

The Ecoclub used the graphs and data provided to analyse how much energy the schools solar panals are creating. We have evaluated the data from the past year, we discovered that December was the lowest month with 2680.61kw being used from solar power. The highest months were May, June and July, with June providing 20736.96kw. The Ecoclub concluded that this is due to the summer months having extended daylight hours and December having the lowest amount of daylight hours. The Eco club will monitor this data monthly to evidence when they are most useful and how we can make further use of the energy collected by the solar panals 

Activity description

Many schools have photovoltaic panels which produce energy from sunlight. These panels reduce the school's electricity consumption from the National Electricity Grid and reduce the school's carbon emissions, as electricity produced from solar panels produces very little carbon. Solar panels also save schools money. 

Our downloadable worksheet on the right uses the data from one of our Energy Sparks schools to explore how much energy can be provided by solar panels and how much this might cost.

If you have solar panels your own solar data will be shown below and can be used to answer the questions on the sheet.
