1. Safety instructions
The metering panels and halogen lights get hot dur-
ing the experiments so that there is a risk of burns.
• Let the sample panels and halogen lights cool
down when the experiment is finished.
The thermometers are sensitive instruments, made
from glass. Caution, they are fragile!
• Do not expose to mechanical stress.
2. Description
The basic solar energy set is an equipment set for
experiments on utilisation of solar energy.
The equipment set consists of four sample solar
metering panels, with which it is possible to make
four simultaneous measurements during an experi-
ment lasting about 25 minutes. Comparing the four
sets of measurements allows conclusions to be
drawn about the change in temperature and the
maximum temperature that can be reached by the
sample panels, which all differ in terms of surface
coating, heat insulation and covering.
