A comprehensive kit for
investigating the properties of silicon photo-voltaic (solar) cells as a source
of useful power, in an interesting and practical manner. The kit comprises
eight individual 0.4V 100 mA cells. These may be accommodated in the base
'tray' which provides physical support and facilitates interconnection of the
cells using the connector strips provided. The cells may be linked in a variety
of series, parallel or series/parallel combinations to give the desired output
characteristics.
Also included is a low consumption electric motor
with mounting components, connecting leads and a small fan to illustrate
practical use to which the system can be put. The kit is supplied with a
comprehensive instruction booklet which gives background technical information
on solar cells, advice on interconnecting the cells for the different types of
application and suggested uses to which a small solar battery can be put.
