Forward Education Smart Solar Energy Kit Class Set (10 pieces)

The Smart Solar Energy Kit is a practice-orientated learning set for teaching renewable energies, programming and electronics. Students set up a functioning mini solar system and analyse the energy generated in real time. In combination with the micro:bit, measured values are recorded, processed and used directly in their own programme, making the set ideal for use in schools, makerspaces or project lessons and combining sustainable energy topics with modern technology and coding.Learning content and skills– Basics of solar energy and energy conversion– Measuring voltage and amperage– Data acquisition and evaluation– Programming with the micro:bit– Understanding of sustainability and renewable energies– Technical problem-solving and project-based work– Solar data logger for recording energy yields– Visualisation of current flow and power values– Construction of a solar-powered USB system– Automatic alignment of the solar panel with servo motorScope of delivery– Breakout board– Energy sensor for measuring voltage and current– Solar panel– Servo motor– Connection cable– USB cable– Base plate and components– Connecting elementsNoteA micro:bit (version 2 recommended) is required for operation and is not included in the scope of delivery.
