Solar Panel
Solar Engineering Ideas
• Modify the car using different gears
or combinations of gears to increase
the speed or power of the vehicle.
• Add more solar panels (available
from Pitsco) in series to increase the
voltage (and speed) or in parallel
to increase power (see illustrations
above).
• Add more motors, solar panels,
or plastic bodies (all available from
Pitsco) and create a four-wheel drive
solar vehicle.
• Convert a toy car to run on a
solar cell.
• Build a windmill from dowel rods
and craft sticks.
• Have a contest for speed and/or
power with other solar engineers in
your school.
