Factors affecting the distance travelled by a solar buggy

The solar cell collects the Suns energy. The brightness of the Sun matters

A bigger area of solar cell must gather more light energy

The solar cell collects the Suns energy. The brightness of the Sun matters At midday the Sun will shine right down on the solar cell, but in the evening not directly on it at all A bigger area of solar cell must gather more light energy
