Lab Procedure (Lab 04: Solar Meter Lab) Introduction and Background Mayor Mia Taylor, a mayor of a city similar to a suburb of Columbus, is running for re-election. As she develops her platform for the upcoming election cycle, there has been some debate on whether or not homeowners who install solar panels should receive a tax break. Before she can form her opinion, her election committee has hired your consulting firm to write a memo on the practicality of installing rooftop solar cells on new and existing homes. With your team of engineers, you must conduct a series of experiments and analysis to develop a well-supported recommendation for Mayor Taylor. Your team’s systematic and economical procedure for testing has been described later in this document. The memo must address: The active area (in square meters) of solar panels required to provide enough energy to power (an) already constructed/pre-existing house in Columbus, Ohio using the incident values from the results. Is installing solar panels on roofs of newly constructed homes feasibility? The committee has narrowed the scope of the memo to the following considerations:
