I use this in lessons on solar energy/photovoltaics for 4th - 10th grade students. It is easy to assemble and pretty durable with use by many students.

Good Learning/Teaching Tool, Although...

I found the kit a nice introduction to hands-on Solar power. The manual might be tough for an eight year old to read without an adult. Forget about the math; that's strictly college level math to figure out the various voltage/amps. Everything needed to see Solar power in-action is included in this kit. It is a blast when it works. However, placing the Solar panel in a window for about 4 hours reaped not enough power to light the light or to move the little fan. At first I thought the panel might be defective, until I placed it within inches of a 100 watt light, and then the light lit and the solar motor came alive and turned the fan! My main disappointment was in discovering that the solar panel did not "store power," it only used solar power while being activated.

Cool But Limited

This product is a good start. It provides simple pieces that are easily put together. The only bad thing is that there's not much to it.

The solar educational kit is a nice inexpensive way to get children 10-14 years interested in knowing more about solar energy and its numerous uses.
