Tamiya 75024 Solar Power Generator Kit - Classroom and Hobby Model  [75024]

What the Tamiya 75024 solar kit teaches

The Tamiya Solar Power Generator Kit is a hands-on educational model that clearly illustrates how solar energy is converted into electrical power. It is built to show the principles of renewable power and simple mechanical design in a small, approachable package.

How the kit performs during use

The model contains a compact car assembly with a solar panel and a capacitor that captures the generated electricity. After charging, the car can be removed from its cradle and will run independently for approximately three minutes, providing a tangible example of stored solar energy.

Solar cell specs and lighting effects

The unit includes a 65x65mm solar panel that produces about 2.0V at 125mA under ideal lighting (35,000lx). Users will notice charge and run variations depending on whether the light source is direct sun, cloudy daylight or indoor lamps.

Teaching value and simple presentation

Ideal for demonstrations, this kit works well in workshops or as a desk display that links clear engineering concepts with renewable technology. Its straightforward setup makes it suited to a wide range of ages and skill levels.
