Solar Power Lab Kit

This kit serves one of our pillars: Energy — technology in the service of nature.

Capture the sun, store it in a battery, and power a real device — build your own off-grid power supply and measure exactly how much energy you harvest.

What's inside the kit?

• Solar Panel 6V 5W — Captures the sun (6V 5W panel)
• Mini Solar Charger (Single Cell Li-ON and LiPO) — Charges the battery from the panel
• Rechargeable18650 Li-ion Battery 3.7v (Recycled- original) — Stores the energy (18650 cell)
• TP4056 1A Li-Ion Battery Charging Board — USB charging + protection
• BB-J65 Jumper Wires for Breadboard & Arduino (65 Wire) — Wires the circuit
• LDR Photoresistor Module — Measure light vs output (LDR)

How the idea works

Every part in the kit has a job. Assembled in the right order they stop being loose parts and become a working system — one you build yourself, understand at every step, and see the result of with your own eyes. The included build guide walks you from zero to running.

Your journey: from kit to competition

• Build — assemble the kit and get it running.
• Understand — learn why each part is there and how it works.
• Improve — modify it, add a sensor, tune it, try your own idea.
• Make a project — turn the experiment into a project that solves a real environmental problem.
• Compete — enter your project into local and international competitions.

A good fit for tracks such as:

• FIRST LEGO League — Super Powered (energy)
• Intel ISEF — Energy: Sustainable Materials & Design
• Renewable-energy youth challenges

What you'll learn

• How a solar panel turns light into electricity
• Charging and protecting a Li-ion battery
• Measuring voltage and current
• Energy budgeting: generation vs use
• Powering a real device from the sun

Extend & innovate

Pair it with our Environment Monitor or IoT Smart Farm kit to run them on solar power — fully off-grid — or add more panels to harvest more.
