30 Watt Solar Panel Kit (#33000)

Parallax’s 30 Watt Solar Panel Kit is a do-it-yourself system that can produce up to a maximum of 30

watts of electrical energy. This solar panel is designed to be not only a fun and interesting project to

build, but when fully assembled, is rugged enough for permanent power production (including rooftop

installations), and can be used in many portable applications as well.

Features

Kit Overview

Q: Is this just another solar demonstration kit?

A: No, not really. There are many solar power “kits” that demonstrate how electrical energy is generated

by direct sunlight. These kits typically produce small amounts of voltage and/or current, and are used to

run small motors, indicator lamps or LEDs. Some of these kits even include meters which allow you to

observe how voltage and current change under various light and/or load conditions.

This product is different. Not only is it a true “kit”—you assemble it from a pile of raw parts—but when

you’re done, it produces a substantial amount of electrical power. In fact, the energy produced per

square foot is comparable to many commercially available solar panels. After you permanently seal the

panel, it can withstand the outside environment as well.

Q: Is this 30 Watt Solar Panel Kit a toy?

A: No, you will be making a real solar panel that can be sealed and used outside in a permanent

installation (such as on a rooftop), or in mobile applications like camping, robotics, battery charging, etc.

Assembling the kit is a process that demonstrates how the cells are properly handled and interconnected

to produce usable electric power. Going through the assembly process will yield multiple benefits. You

will…
