Mounted Solar Cell
Mounted Solar Cell (Product Code: SLE/PHY/256) is a selenium photovoltaic cell on a base, used to produce electrical energy directly from light energy in school physics demonstrations. Teachers pair it with the Mounted Motor for Solar Cell, and it shares the 165 x 100mm base and 4mm socket terminals used across the Energy Transfer Kit units. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools putting together a physics experiment kit on energy.

What Is the Mounted Solar Cell Used For?
The Mounted Solar Cell is the input stage of an energy-transfer demonstration. When light falls on the selenium cell it produces a small voltage and current, which can drive the matching motor unit or be read on a meter. It shows students that electrical energy can be produced without a battery, a generator or the mains.
Simple investigations work well with it: compare the output in daylight, under a desk lamp and with the cell partly covered, change the distance to the lamp, or tilt the cell away from the light. Adding a multimeter or galvanometer to the output turns a qualitative demonstration into a measurement exercise. Keep the cell face clean and free from scratches, and store it in a dry cupboard between lessons.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Whether you also need the Mounted Motor for Solar Cell as the load
- Any other Energy Transfer Kit units your lessons require
- The number of cells per lab or student group
- A meter for output readings, if your lab does not have one
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, supplies the Mounted Solar Cell together with related energy-transfer units, meters and leads, so a school can source a complete demonstration from one vendor. Orders are handled for buyers in India and international markets. See the ScienceLab profile for more about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cell is used in the Mounted Solar Cell?
The Mounted Solar Cell uses a selenium photo-voltaic cell, which generates electricity when light falls on its surface. It is mounted on a 165 x 100mm base so it can be placed on a bench and connected like the other Energy Transfer Kit units.
What can the Mounted Solar Cell power?
The Mounted Solar Cell is intended for use with the Mounted Motor for Solar Cell, to demonstrate electrical energy produced directly from light energy. If you plan to connect a different load, describe it in your enquiry and we will advise.
Can the Mounted Solar Cell be connected to a meter?
Yes, the Mounted Solar Cell can be connected to a multimeter or galvanometer through leads, letting students record how its output changes with light level. Readings depend on the brightness and angle of the light, so keep the set-up constant when comparing results.
Is the Mounted Solar Cell sold as part of a kit?
The Mounted Solar Cell is one of the separately available units of the Energy Transfer Kit, so it can be ordered on its own or with other units such as the motor. List every unit you need in your enquiry to receive a combined quotation.
Who supplies the Mounted Solar Cell?
The Mounted Solar Cell is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company serves schools, colleges, science centres and dealers throughout India and international markets with physics demonstration equipment.
What details are needed to quote for the Mounted Solar Cell?
To quote for the Mounted Solar Cell, send the product code SLE/PHY/256, the number of cells, any matching units such as the motor or a meter, and the delivery address. The contact page or enquiry cart is the quickest route.
