4 FAQs about Lego game of solar power station

How much power does a solar panel generate?

How much power a solar panel generates depends on many factors including where it is positioned and how mobile it is. Some solar panels have special control mechanisms that can adjust them to follow the sun. Build, program and log data to investigate the NXT Solar Station's ability to generate power (W).

How do I change the emeter value on my NXT solar station?

Hint If you wish to change measurement values, select voltage (V) or amperage (A) values using the Sensor dropdown menu: Emeter In - V or Emeter In - A NOTE • If the NXT Solar Station doesn't track or falls behind the light source, it might be because the light source is moving too fast or is too far away.

How do you measure a light bulb on a Lego solar panel?

Place the Solar Panel under the center of the light source. Optimally the lamps diameter should cover the LEGO Solar Panel and have a parabolic reflector. To help students measure the distance of the bulb in the lamp to the Solar Panel, it is helpful to make a mark on the lamp casing, level with the center of the light bulb. Warning!
