Students kit Solar cell
For school experiments using solar cells, which can be carried out within the time frame of a single lesson.
The various elements are designed to be particularly simple and easy to understand and can be handled with ease by groups of pupils. No other equipment is necessary except for the provision of additional sources of light to illuminate the solar cells at times of year when there is less sunlight available, along with simple school measuring instruments to measure electrical quantities.
The experiments that can be carried out include the following:
- No-load voltage and short-circuit current
- Series- and parallel connection
- Power characteristic line of a solar generator
- Influence of illuminance and of the illumination angle
- Conversion of solar energy to mechanical energy and to luminous energy
- Solar production of hydrogen
-
1 - Energy conversion with solar cells
experiment "Energy conversion with solar cells"
The students connect a solar cell to an electric motor and observe the effect.
