E8R07117

Product code: E8R07117

The mono-crystalline solar panel has a maximum rating of 4.4V, 90mA. It can be easily energised by a bright lamp or sunlight.  With 4mm plug connectors.

Students can explore the behaviour of the solar cell:

  • Investigate how the output voltage varies with the area of cell exposed to the light
  • Use filters to investigate how the output voltage varies with colour/wavelength of light
  • Use a light meter and investigate how the output voltage varies with light intensity
  • Determine the optimum electrical load for maximum power transfer for a known light intensity
  • Determine how the maximum power varies with the light intensity when the electrical load is fixed
  • Fitted with 4mm plug connectors for easy connection into a circuit for voltage measurement.
