Q&A: How is energy from solar panels converted to energy that can be used for solar power?
I want to do a science project where I create my own solar panels out of different materials to see which one will produce the greatest amount of energy. Is this a realistic topic if it has to be done before Thanksgiving? If so, how do I make the solar panels? How do I measure/convert the energy? Please help!

You might be able to manage solar panels to warm water.
This would be used, for example, in a home to reduce energy needed by the hot water heater.
Other types of solar panels, such as those that make electricity, you would not be able to make at home.
