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

Cover of the manual for the solar cell device set
A look into the mini case "Solar cell equipment set", the cables, the propeller and the solar cells are in the black foam.
Set up experiment "Conversion of solar energy into light energy". At the top, the 4 solar cells are connected to each other with cables. The outer solar cells are connected to the electric motor with propeller in the block at the bottom.
Insight into the instructions for the "Solar Cell" equipment set - the experiment "Energy conversion with solar cells" is shown here with a construction sketch.
The experimental materials for the experiment "Energy conversion with solar cells" are lying next to each other on the table. On the left are the cables, then the solar cell and the electric motor with propeller in the block.
Set up experiment "Energy conversion with solar cells". The solar cell is connected at the top with the two cables leading downwards to the electric motor with propeller in the block.
