The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient. For optimal results, we recommend using Go Direct® Temperature or another temperature probe with this kit. What's included 25 ft clear tubing* Black plastic box (1) Clear plastic lid for plastic box (1) Small plastic bucket (2) 2 V/400 mA Solar Panel (1) KidWind Small Water Pump with tubing (1) Alligator clip cord pair The clear tubing is a consumable and excluded from warranty.
