Solar Photovoltaic Basic (Product Code: SLE/PHY/218) is a photovoltaics add-on set used to answer first questions about solar cells: what a solar cell and a solar panel are, what they can power, and how a cell should be aligned to the sun. Its qualitative experiments suit elementary and junior high students and run on the Solar Minikit Basic or Solar Kit Basic. As an entry-level solar energy science kit, it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

The Solar Photovoltaic Basic is used for a pupil-friendly introduction to photovoltaics. Students connect a solar module to the motor or buzzer, then tilt it towards the sun or the lighting module and watch the motor speed up or the sound change. Comparing the 0.5 V and 1.5 V modules shows the difference between a single solar cell and a small solar panel.
The four-piece cover set lets pupils shade part of a module and see how the output drops, while the color discs on the motor make changes in speed easy to spot. All of this is qualitative, so younger classes can reach sound conclusions without meters; junior high groups using the Solar Kit Basic can extend the same lessons with readings.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, supplies the Solar Photovoltaic Basic from Ambala, Haryana. The company sources this add-on together with the base kits and other topic sets, so schools and dealers can assemble a complete renewable-energy corner from one supplier.

What questions does the Solar Photovoltaic Basic help students answer?
The Solar Photovoltaic Basic helps students answer what a solar cell is, what a solar panel is, what can be powered with a solar cell and how a solar cell should be aligned to the sun, along with many related questions explored through simple experiments.
Can the Solar Photovoltaic Basic be used on its own?
No, the Solar Photovoltaic Basic is an add-on set. It needs the Solar Minikit Basic in primary school or the Solar Kit Basic in junior high school, each of which contains all necessary accessories such as the base unit and cables.
Are the Solar Photovoltaic Basic experiments qualitative or quantitative?
All Solar Photovoltaic Basic experiments are designed to be qualitative. They are adapted for young students in elementary school and junior high school, who observe effects such as motor speed or buzzer sound rather than recording measured values.
What is supplied in the Solar Photovoltaic Basic carton?
The Solar Photovoltaic Basic carton contains a 0.5 V, 840 mA solar module, a 1.5 V, 280 mA solar module, a lighting module, a solar cell cover set of four pieces, a buzzer module, a motor module with color discs, the PV Basic insert and printed guidance sheets.
Who supplies the Solar Photovoltaic Basic?
The Solar Photovoltaic Basic is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. ScienceLab sources the set and supplies it, with or without base kits, to schools, dealers and institutions in India and international markets.
