Kit of 10 solar energy experiments

Description

This kit of 10 experiments has been designed to introduce anyone to the world of solar energy in a simple way, allowing them to learn and put into practice simple circuits. With these circuits, the energy produced by a solar panel can be used as the sole power source or as a charging system for common rechargeable batteries.

No equipment is needed to try out the 10 projects included in the kit, not even a soldering iron, since the breadboard system allows any kind of electrical connection between the supplied components by inserting them into the board, following the illustrations. For those who already have a basic knowledge of electronics, each project is accompanied by a circuit diagram and a technical description that is also understandable for beginners.

The kit comes with an illustrated manual that will guide you step by step through the 10 experiments.
