Solar-kit
A real photovoltaic system
for self-assembly in class
With the solar kit, we want teenagers to learn how solar energy works. By working out how it works for themselves using our instructions and building the system from scratch, the students can see for themselves how easy it is to use self-produced electricity. The dimensions of the system are true to the original and thus give a realistic feeling for solar energy.
Teamwork plus knowledge
The solar kit is designed as a kit for installation on the ground, so that students can build it independently with the help of a teacher within about 1.5 hours. All components can be assembled using simple tools that are included.
For the construction, the class/group is divided into 2 teams (yellow and orange) of up to 30 students. Each team is then divided into three sub-teams, one each for building the base, the stand and the table. When the three components are ready, the whole team assembles them, the PV module is attached and the control box is plugged in.
The construction is suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly, so that not only one class can gain experience with the solar DIY kit, but many classes/working groups over many years.
The system can be set up in a pure south orientation as well as in an east/west orientation. Other orientations are also possible in principle. The inclination of the modules can also be individually adjusted from horizontal to vertical. This allows the students to compare the most diverse setup options with each other.
Easy use
Our solar kit is delivered with a switch box for island operation. The maximum output here is around 350 watts. With the right orientation, this can be used to operate electric musical instruments (electric piano or electric guitar), a small popcorn machine or similar.
After the usage phase, the system is dismantled and broken down into its individual parts so that the next class can build the same structure.
Alternatively, we also supply the system with a control box for parallel grid operation.
The power of the system is limited to 0.6 kW, so it can be connected to any socket in the school's power grid.
As with large PV systems, the teaching aid system records the generation data. The data can be transmitted using a GSM module and is then available to the school for use in lessons.
Price
4000 €
incl. 7% VAT,
plus shipping and handling
The solar kit is produced by the Brucker Workshop for People with Disabilities Fürstenfeldbruck of the Caritas Association of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising eV
When selecting materials and components, special emphasis was placed on usability as well as recyclability and repairability.
The delivery time is approximately 1 month from receipt of the order. Delivery costs are not included in the price. We send the kit to the schools with clear and descriptive assembly instructions, as well as all necessary components and tools.
