About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models how solar panel output changes throughout a single day in Singapore (1° north of the equator). Learners observe the relationship between sun angle, time of day, and electrical power generation from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The tool visualizes how solar irradiance varies with Earth's position and atmospheric conditions.

Learning objectives: Understand how solar panel efficiency varies with solar angle and time of day | Analyze the relationship between renewable energy input and power output | Interpret real-world energy production data for equatorial locations
