Description

Photovoltaics (PV) is the direct conversion of light
into electrical energy with the help of solar cells.
With the leXsolar-Photovoltaic product family,
the key fundamentals of this technology and
its applications can be understood, along with
the exploration of more advanced aspects of
photovoltaic technology in a practical context.
Designed so experiments revolve around qualitative
measurements without meters etc., PV Basic is ideal
for primary to lower secondary students. It provides
a good foundation in photovoltaic technology by
exploring the following questions and more.
Components:
1 x Solar module, 0.5V, 420mA
1 x Solar module, 1.5V, 280mA
