Solar Buggy (Product Code: SCI-1262/022) is a sun-powered model cart used to show students how light energy is converted into electrical and then kinetic energy in school science classes. Its low-consumption motor, fed by a detachable solar cell that gives more than 2 V in clear sunlight, drives the cart at a brisk walking pace on rubber-tyred wheels. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

The Solar Buggy turns an abstract energy-chain lesson into something students can chase across the playground. Sunlight falling on the cell produces a voltage, the motor converts that electrical energy into motion, and the cart rolls off as long as the light is strong. Shading the cell with a hand or a sheet of card stops the buggy almost at once, which makes the link between light intensity and power very clear.
Run it outdoors on a smooth, level surface in clear sunlight, since weak or hazy light will not drive it effectively. Because the solar cell detaches, it can also be connected to a multimeter to record its voltage in sun and shade, making the buggy a flexible solar energy science kit for projects, science fairs and STEM activities.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies the Solar Buggy from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, STEM programmes, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

How fast does the Solar Buggy travel?
In reasonably strong, clear sunlight the Solar Buggy travels at a brisk walking pace. Its speed depends on how bright the sunlight is, so it slows or stops when clouds, haze or shadows reduce the light reaching the solar cell.
Does the Solar Buggy work indoors or on cloudy days?
The Solar Buggy is designed for clear sunlight, which is necessary for effective operation. Indoor lighting and overcast skies generally do not supply enough light to drive the motor, so plan the activity outdoors on a bright day.
Can the solar cell of the Solar Buggy be removed?
Yes, the solar cell of the Solar Buggy is detachable so it can be used for other purposes. In clear sunlight it gives in excess of 2 V, enough for simple voltage measurements or small demonstrations away from the cart.
What size is the Solar Buggy?
The Solar Buggy measures 120 x 100 mm. It is a lightweight cart on rubber-tyred wheels, small enough for individual students or pairs to handle, carry outdoors and store in a standard classroom cupboard.
Who supplies the Solar Buggy?
The Solar Buggy is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company handles quotations, class-set orders and dispatch for schools, STEM programmes, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
Can schools order the Solar Buggy in bulk?
Yes, the Solar Buggy can be quoted in class sets for schools, STEM programmes, tenders and dealers across India and international markets. Share the quantity and delivery location through our contact page to receive a quotation.
