Solar Energy Demonstration and Experimental Kit

Solar Energy Demonstration and Experimental Kit — Learn Solar Power through Hands-on Experiments

This set is designed for demonstrations and for individual and group experiments in the field of solar energy — its capture, conversion, storage, and use — as well as the operation of a solar cell, i.e., a photovoltaic cell. This is made possible thanks to the thoughtfully designed contents of the set and the many interesting and diverse experiments included in the attached color instruction manual. The components of the set (the main elements listed below), such as a solar cell, wires, thermometer, flat and parabolic mirrors, magnifying glass, electric motor, propeller, motor stand, parabolic mirror, stand for the parabolic mirror, flat mirror, double magnifier, color filters with holders – 4 different ones, test tube, stand for the test tube, rack for the test tube, rubber bands, paper clips with heads, plastic collars, thread, plastic strips, cut-out sheets with shapes (birds, illusions, …), enable a broad and in-depth discussion based on the experiments conducted, covering topics: Solar energy, photovoltaic cell, utilization of solar energy, etc. The lamp shown in the photo is not part of the set.

Examples of experiments and activities contained in the colorful instruction:
Sun rays (solar energy) heat the air
Sun rays (solar energy) heat the water
Dark surfaces absorb more thermal radiation than light surfaces
Construction and operation of a solar cell
Operation of a solar cell – moving images
Convex mirror and concave mirror
Operation of the “solar oven”
We combine the operation of the solar oven and the solar cell
We build an airplane model
We build a carousel
We build a toy with flying birds
We study the effect of filtering light
