1793: Solar Power Educational Kit

About the power source of the future

The hows and whys of solar energy through hands-on experiments

How to connect solar cells to increase voltage or increase current

Excellent introduction to solar power through hands-on experiments--makes science enjoyable and exciting. Instruction booklet explains how solar cells work and how to connect solar cells for the desired voltage and current.

Learn about solar energy and the many ways it can be harnessed to provide energy for a multitude of uses. The solar cells may be powered by the sun or a flood lamp (typical room lighting is not sufficient).

The Solar Power Educational Kit comes complete with more than 50 parts including:

8 Solar Cells, 0.45V, 100mA (Model 1786)

1 Electric Motor

1 Propeller

1 Connecting Wire with Terminals

2 Wrenches

1 Motor Stand

1 Solar Cell Holder

12 Connecting Straps

16 Nuts

16 Lockwashers.

1792: Solar Panel

Replaces two AA, C or D cells in radios and other devices. This 3V Solar Panel is encased in a weatherproof polycarbonate housing and can swivel on its two mounting brackets. Rated at 120mA, the panel has long, flexible leads with alligator clips for easy connections. Also ideal for charging two NiCd batteries.

1786-1796: Solar Cells

Use these high quality solar cells instead of batteries. You can easily connect any quantity of Solar Cells together in series, parallel or series/parallel, for the desired voltage and current. Screw terminals facilitate quick connections. Model 1796 is the Cell which is used in Model 1793 Educational Kit.
