Solar Thermal Exploration Kit

Product information "Solar Thermal Exploration Kit"

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.
