Educational solar panels are the perfect way to introduce adults and children alike to the world of solar power. For most, the easiest, most engaging and most lasting way to learn is through a hands-on experience. Educational solar panels give that experience in a safe, controlled and exciting way.

Educational solar panels are fully functioning (when you expose them to light, they will actually produce power) and often come matched with a variety of different toys, or other small solar applications that actually demonstrates how the technology works visually.

For instance, some of the most popular educational solar panels are included in solar car kits, or other solar toys and solar demo kits, which allow the user to build, or connect, small motors, lights, etc to a solar panel and use the sun to make it go, light up or whatever the goal happens to be.

Other educational solar panels, such as DIY solar panels are great for more advanced users, adults and older children becuase, with only a few small tools, a little bit or "work" and simple instructions, you can actually build your own fully functional solar panel. And, honestly, what better introduction to solar energy basics (and even advanced concepts) could there be than actually building your own functioning solar panel.

Educational solar panels are available for every age group, and every skill level, and make great projects for:

• Home do-it-yourselfers
• Parents & children looking to learn about solar energy
• Classroom projects for students of all ages
• Projects for youth groups (YMCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H, etc)
• Science fair projects
• College, trade school & continuing education labs and projects
• And much, much more
