High school students harness the power of the sun

From Summer Weekends, 11:30 am on 4 January 2020

Students at New Plymouth Girls' High School researching sustainable energy generation have found that solar panels become less efficient once the temperature goes over 25 degrees....the opposite of what they'd expected.

Sustainability's a real focus at the school.

Students Breanna Camden and Jessica Frost monitored solar panels and wind turbines on the school grounds, and have won several awards for the project.
