ATL Solar Energy Lab Kit — Explore Solar Charging, Capacitor Storage & LED Driving, No Soldering Required

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Transform sunlight into electricity and watch it power a string of bright white LEDs. This kit puts renewable energy fundamentals directly in your hands — students wire real solar panels to charge high-capacity capacitors, learn diode-based protection, and measure every step with a digital multimeter. From young tinkerers to ATL lab sessions, it turns abstract energy concepts into a visible, working circuit in just a couple of hours.

What You'll Build

A complete solar energy harvesting system that stores power in capacitors and releases it on demand to illuminate up to 10 LEDs. You'll connect two 5V solar panels in series or parallel, route current through diodes to prevent reverse flow, charge a bank of 1000µF capacitors, and then discharge that stored energy through strings of white LEDs. The included digital multimeter becomes your window into voltage, current, and the real-time behaviour of a renewable energy supply chain.

What You'll Learn

• Solar energy conversion — how panels turn light into usable DC electricity
• Capacitor charging and discharging dynamics in DC circuits
• Diode protection and rectification to control current direction
• Multimeter measurement techniques for voltage, current, and energy logging

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Designed for Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) in Indian schools, CBSE science students from Class 6 to 10, and young innovators in maker clubs. It fits perfectly into renewable energy units, science exhibition projects, and hobby exploration at home. Whether you're a teacher running a hands-on physics lab or a student preparing for a district-level science fair, this kit provides a safe, soldering-free way to demonstrate solar energy concepts with real measurements.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
