leXsolar-PV Ready-to-go

The name says it all: this fully equipped experiment system can be used wherever you are without further components. This kit already includes all necessary ancillary equipment, like measuring equipment, and is delivered in an aluminium case with heavy-duty foam inserts. The scope of experiments ranges from simple trials that show the basic characteristics of the solar energy, to more challenging experiments dealing with topics like IV characteristics or teperature dependency of solar cells.

Because of the large range of potential experiments, the product is also suitable for internal workshops in companies as well as a demonstration kit for sales representatives.

Experiments:
