Solar Educational Kit Model 689

The JPR Solar Educational Kit gives students a hands‑on way to explore how solar energy is converted into electrical power. It includes eight solar modules, a small DC motor, an impeller, and simple connectors that allow pupils to build working solar‑powered models. The modular design lets them experiment with series and parallel circuits to see how voltage and current change with different configurations and light levels.

The kit is ideal for classroom demonstrations or small‑group activities. Pupils can measure output, test how light angle affects performance, and build simple devices such as fans or model vehicles. A clear booklet is included, explaining the basics of solar power, wiring diagrams, and easy formulas for calculating electrical output. It’s a safe, low‑voltage resource suitable for KS3–KS4 STEM lessons and supports practical learning in physics, energy, and circuits.
