Solar Panels: Solar Webcam Timelapse Videos
The webcam on the roof of Morley Science Center has been recording images of the solar panels every hour since July of 2006. Electrical output by the solar panels has been monitored since they were installed in 2004. The combination of those two types of information allows us to explore the affects of weather and light conditions on the performance of the solar panels.

Are there times when the sun in shining but the panels aren't producing? How long does a snow storm affect the solar panels? How much light do the panels need to start producing electricity?
