Solar Light Bank

An ancillary for the Photovoltaic Cells Experiment (TE4) from TecQuipment.

The Solar Light Bank (TE4a has five banks of three R7 Tungsten Halogen Lamps (15 total)). Each bank can be turned on and off independently. When running at full capacity the lamps can consume up to 6 kW of power.

Designed to stand beside the TE4 and to direct the light directly onto the photovoltaic cells.

The TE4a enables the TE4 to be used without direct sunlight. It also enables experiments to be accurately replicated and not reliant on the presence of steady sunshine.

Key Features

• Designed to work with TecQuipment’s Photovoltaic Cells experiment (TE4)
• Five banks of three R7 tungsten halogen lamps (15 total) consuming a power of up to 6 kW
• Allows the photovoltaic experiment to be carried out in the lab (requires no outside space)
• Allows repeatability of experiments
• The legs can be removed for storage and transport

Learning Outcomes

Enables the TE4 to be used without direct sunlight to study:

• Performance of the solar panel
• Demonstration of float mode
• Demonstration of load cut
