Tamiya 75024 Solar Power Generator Kit - STEM Learning Model  [75024]

Starter overview of the Tamiya 75024 solar kit

The Tamiya Solar Power Generator Kit provides a straightforward, hands-on project for newcomers to solar technology. This educational model shows how a small solar panel can produce electricity to run a compact vehicle, making it useful for hobbyists studying renewable energy basics and simple mechanical systems.

Practical, hands-on classroom style activity

The kit supplies a small car chassis fitted with a solar panel and a capacitor that holds the generated charge. After the capacitor stores enough energy, the car can be removed from its cradle and run on its own for about three minutes, demonstrating conversion of sunlight into usable electrical power.

Panel output and real world charging notes

The supplied solar cell is 65x65mm and can produce about 2.0V at 125mA under strong light (35,000lx). Charging and run durations will vary with lighting, so users will notice different performance in bright sun, overcast skies, or under indoor lamps.

Display appeal and simple learning curve

More than a demo, this kit doubles as an instructive display piece that highlights simple engineering and solar tech. Its straightforward assembly makes it a good project for young hobbyists and classrooms without requiring advanced tools or expertise.
