Educational Solar Energy Kit.
The best educational and most economical solar energy kit that we've ever stocked.

Eight separate solar cells are mounted in a sturdy plastic frame, each cell can be connected to adjoining cells using sturdy metal links to increase either current or voltage.

Plastic tools are supplied to help make the connections and to fit an electric motor in a support column for mounting either on the supplied base or on the solar panel itself. Wires that are pre-attached to the motor are used to connect the motor to the solar cell. To make the motor's rotation visible a plastic fan blade can be fitted to the motor.

The included User Manual is brilliant - it describes how a solar cell works in detail and clearly shows how to use the connecting links to create the best series or parallel circuits to power different types of equipment like a motor, light emitting diode (LED), radio, calculator, musical/alarm buzzer or radio. It also suggests how to use multiple kits to provide higher current and voltage eg 3 kits can provide 300mA at 3 volts.

Supplied in a sturdy, re-usable cardboard box.

This kit replaces Solar Energy Kit SC5240.
