The leXsolar-NewEnergy Kit is specifically adapted for young students in Primary and Junior High School and provides by qualitative and quantitative experiments an understanding of the topics photovoltaic, wind power, hydro power, electric mobility and fuel cells. With the enclosed Smart Control components, an innovative measuring and control system is available and all necessary accessories like power supply, cables and measuring devices are already included. Like the other products of the Ready-to-go line, the leXsolar-NewEnergy Ready-to-go amazes with its flexible and location-independent usability that doesn?t require any additional equipment.
