1. Safety instructions
The thermometers are sensitive instruments, made
from glass. Caution, they are fragile!
• Do not expose to mechanical stress.
• Do not drop.
2. Description
The basic solar energy set is an equipment set for
experiments on utilisation of solar energy.
The equipment set consists of four solar metering
panels of varied surface coating, four thermome-
ters, two holders, two thermal insulating cases and
a cover for demonstration of the greenhouse effect.
Four series of measurements, which can be done
within approximately 25 min., impressively dem-
onstrate the change in temperature over time and
the maximum temperature that can be reached
inside the metering panels.
The equipment is delivered in a sturdy cardboard
storage box.
