Output Power Prediction of Solar Energy Kit using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis

Abstract:

Solar Energy is widely taught in most science subjects especially in physics. A Solar Energy Kit (SEK) had been introduced to demonstrate basic solar energy concepts in the classroom setting. Participating Grade 8 students were engaged to hands-on activities utilizing the SEK at Bukidnon National High School – Annex Aglayan, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. Their actual data sets were treated with Pearson correlation and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) to determine the output power equation of SEK in terms of variables like voltage, current, illumination, surface temperature and time duration. Results revealed that the strongest predictors are illumination, voltage and current variables.
