Question
these solar panels are adjusted to the best angle at which to capture solar energy. design look at the solar panels shown in the photo. the photo was taken at noon. do you think these panels are in an area close to or far from the equator?
At noon, the sun is higher in the sky near the equator. Solar panels are adjusted to the best angle to capture solar energy. If the panels are tilted at a significant angle (as in the photo), it suggests that the sun is not directly overhead (which it would be near the equator at noon). Near the equator, solar panels might be flatter (less tilted) as the sun is more directly above. So, the angle of the panels implies they are in an area where the sun's rays are not coming from a near - vertical direction (as would be the case near the equator at noon).
