The Challenge | You are my Sunshine
Create a medium to help people understand energy output from a solar panel, and a tool to plan energy consumption based on expected energy output from solar technologies.

We created a program in Java which calculates the approximate amount of Watts per square meter that solar panels would produce. https://github.com/JulianPhillips/SolarStuff

The program takes in user input for the outside temperature and a "true or false" statement for whether it is cloudy or not. It then calculates the estimated Watts/ meter^2 produced by a solar panel at solar noon.
We used the following resources:
- Eclipse
- HI-SEAS meteorological data
- Women Who Code
- rawshorts.com
