Sun-Powered Science Projects

Since we don't want to spend our golden years pouring gold into the pockets of Middle Eastern oil cartels and homegrown utility companies, we encourage science students to explore solar cells. Exposed to light, even these small modules will power DC motors, charge batteries, or run an eye-popping science project. 92481 is 2-9/16" x 3-5/8". All are enclosed and have leads.
