Solar radiation has many variables which must be considered to derive accurate data to determine insolation at a given site. The SolarQuestTM experiment is simple compared to the expensive instrumentation required for a full assessment of solar insolation. Fortunately, much information is available through texts you can obtain through your school or public library. The Internet is also a excellent source of information. The scientist in your group will be required to develop a research project to more accurately determine solar insolation for your selected site using the bibliography of texts and LearningLinksTM. Go to Solar Scientist for more information.
