Build your own solar-powered creations and discover how solar cells make electricity! Thames & Kosmos Solar Power Plus is a great kit that teaches renewable energy and encourages fine motor skills.

• Features 22 different models to build
• Teaches basic concepts in solar energy, photovoltaics, and circuits, as well as problem solving skills and creative thinking
• Power the models you build with the sun outside, or with a high-wattage incandescent light bulb
• Power the models anytime with AA batteries or a combination of batteries and solar panels (batteries not included)

The two solar panels in this kit each consist of three solar cells. When linked together in series, they generate up to 3.0 volts of electricity in bright sunlight, like two AA batteries.

• Two cradles hold either the solar panels or batteries, allowing you to switch between solar panels or batteries
• Use the solar panel to charge up your own rechargeable AA batteries (batteries not included)
• Solar panels are positionable, so you can maximize their exposure to the sun
