With this kit, students build more than 20 solar-powered models to learn how solar cells convert energy from sunlight into mechanical energy.

They can also conduct experiments with the solar cell to see how different placement angles, different light levels, different sources of light, and different loads affect its operation. This kit includes a unique, single-piece solar motor composed of a photovoltaic cell and an electric motor joined together in one compact unit. With this solar motor, students can power dozens of electric vehicles and devices.

Models include cars, trucks, planes, windmills, waterwheels, robots, and other vehicles. The 60-page, full-color experiment manual offers step-by-step illustrated instructions for the building projects and experiments.
