Durability: Educational: Fun:
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.

Solar powered kit October 31, 2010
By ReaderDigest
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: Educational: Fun:
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.

Disappointed January 24, 2010
By Matthew Nelson
Durability: Educational: Fun:
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.

We purchased this kit for use in my daughter's science fair. She is not permitted to plug anything in, so we were not able to bring a lamp. Read more
