I especially need to know WHY!
I am doing a Science fair project where I am measuring the solar cells from 0 to 90 degrees at different times of the day for two days. I need to have one page of research. Please help.

Well obviously directly facing the sun would get you the most sunlight contact.
But facing directly upwards is usually the way it is done since the sun around noon goes through less atmosphere to reach it. (though because of rain this produces problems)
Pointing straight to the SUN will give max. power. Its’ simple. Max Sunlight falls on Equator of our Earth. Less heat at poles. Its the position that give max power. Always keep it pointed towards the SUN directly
