Suppоse yоu’re evаluаting the perfоrmаnce of two new styles of solar panels for residential electricity generation. You have twenty available panels of each style that you plan to use to run an experiment in which you’ll compare the amount of electricity each panel style generates over a one-month period. The amount of electricity solar panels generate depends on the direction they face (orientation) and the amount of shading they receive. You have two sites available to install your test panels, including a south-facing roof with no shading and a north-facing field with partial shading. Which of the following solar panel installation plans will prevent the effects of orientation and shading from confounding the effects of solar panel type? I) Install both types of panels at both of the sites II) Install one type of solar panel at each of the two sites III) Install both types of panels at either one or the two sites
