What Calculations Can Be Done for a Solar Energy Project?

[bendel]

I will be do a project soon on a topic that I pick. I am interested in solar energy but one of the requirements for the project is to show calculations related to your topic. Are any calculations that wouldn't be to hard that might be relevant or should I find another topic?
