Solar Energy Kit with Lamp STEM Lab
Product Code : SCL-EI-12556
Quick Answer: The Solar Energy Kit with Lamp pairs a 3.0 W monocrystalline solar panel with a 50W halogen lamp on a gooseneck arm, so solar experiments can run indoors in any weather. Built-in meters, a supercapacitor and a choice of loads show how the panel performs.

About This Product
Moving the lamp or tilting the panel and reading the meters lets students see how output falls as light strikes at a wider angle or from further away, illustrating the cosine law and the inverse-square law. Switching between the motor, buzzer, LEDs and potentiometer shows how the panel behaves under different loads, so they can plot voltage-current curves and estimate efficiency, while the supercapacitor shows energy being stored. Laboratories and colleges in Chile, Trinidad and Tobago, Bhutan, Chad, Malawi and Jamaica can buy the Solar Energy Kit with Lamp STEM Lab through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Solar Energy Kit be used without sunlight?
Yes. The 50W halogen lamp on the gooseneck arm acts as a steady artificial sun for indoor experiments.
What loads can the panel drive?
A DC motor with fan blade, a piezo buzzer, a 2 LED array and a variable potentiometer.
