Solar Energy Kit (Product Code: SCI-165/023) is a photovoltaic experiment kit used to investigate silicon solar cells as a practical source of power in school and college science labs. It contains eight individual 0.4 V, 100 mA cells that slot into a base tray and can be linked in series, parallel or mixed combinations to run a small motor and fan. The kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

This kit lets students discover for themselves how solar panels are built up from single cells. Connecting cells in series adds their voltages, while connecting them in parallel adds their currents, and learners can see the effect immediately by watching how the motor and fan respond to each arrangement. Mixed series/parallel layouts show how engineers match a panel's output to the load it has to drive.
A typical lesson starts with one cell and a meter, then adds cells one by one and records the readings in a table. Working in direct sunlight gives the strongest output, and tilting the tray towards the sun is a quick way to show how angle affects power. As a solar cell characteristic kit it also supports project work on renewable energy in senior classes.
The Solar Energy Kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources and dispatches the kit for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. For spare cells or additional kits, please ask us when you enquire.

How many solar cells are in the Solar Energy Kit?
The Solar Energy Kit contains 8 individual silicon photovoltaic cells, each rated 0.4 V and 100 mA. The cells fit into the base tray and are joined with the connector strips provided, so students can build many different arrangements.
Can the cells in the Solar Energy Kit be connected in series and parallel?
Yes, the cells in the Solar Energy Kit can be linked in series, in parallel or in series/parallel combinations. This lets students compare how each layout changes the output voltage and current delivered to the motor and fan.
What else comes with the Solar Energy Kit?
Besides the cells and base tray, the Solar Energy Kit includes connector strips, a low-consumption electric motor with mounting components, connecting leads and a small fan that illustrates a practical use of solar power.
What size is the base tray of the Solar Energy Kit?
The base tray of the Solar Energy Kit measures 110 x 95 mm. It holds all eight cells, supports them physically and makes interconnection easy, keeping the kit compact enough for a student bench or a sunny window ledge.
Who supplies the Solar Energy Kit?
The Solar Energy Kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and distributors receive quotations from the company and can ask it about spare cells, extra kits and matching measuring instruments.
Is a meter included with the Solar Energy Kit?
A meter is not listed among the Solar Energy Kit contents, which cover the cells, tray, connector strips, motor, fan and leads. A digital multimeter from our range can be quoted alongside the kit so students can record their readings.
