I bought this solar educational kit for my son 4th grade school science project. After reading the reviews from the others, I was skeptical about the product. Since this is the only solar educational kit on Amazon and the price is reasonable right, we decided to buy it. We received the product in two days. The instruction is straight forward and easy that my son can do it by himself without my help. We also bought the spot flash light for about $10 from Home Depot to use it as a sunlight for indoor. This worked really well for the fan, but for the light bulb you need to use the sun light as well. Overall, this product is good for young kid science school project. My son really enjoyed it.

 DisappointedJan 25, 2010
By Matthew Nelson
This set is exactly the same as the Radioshack Model 277-0011 "Solar Deluxe Educational Kit". As the other reviewer stated, this is poor. After returning one set for a defective solar panel, the second set seems to have the same problem. It is difficult to setup due to having to use the wrench. Compared to their Snap Circuits SC-300 (which is excellent), I don't know why the company failed to use simple snap modules.

 Solar powered kitOct 31, 2010

For the price, it is more than sufficient for a science project. Parent would need to help mount (screw) the panel and the accessories it powered - all down to a platform, so all the child has to do is to hook and unhook the wiring from the sockets. I also stapled (secured) the excess wiring down to the platform to minimize the chance of accidentally damaging the soldered contact point(s).
It works great. It is not a toy that your child would keep playing. but for science project, it is fun, and cool thing to demonstrate the concepts of electricity, voltage, current, amps, etc.

I bought this item for my son, for Christmas. Wanting to get him something that doesn't place him in front of the tv for hours and actually makes him become creative and think. It would have been a great idea....if it had ever worked. Elenco's customer service is a joke and now I have a box collecting dust in my son's closet.
excellent toyMay 16, 2012

is a very excellent product. the panel works great and gives more than 5 volts DC. We use the panel for a project and the ecological house that we did worked fine. The accesories provided are very awsome.
