Hi Jason, When I was in fifth grade I built a little PV project. It consisted of a very small module (smaller than a dollar bill) and a tiny dc motor mounted in a box with string hooked up to it, and some weights. I demonstrated how shading and irradiance levels affect how much weight the motor could lift. I received an 'A'.

Not having kids myself, I have no idea where to start with this. They are fine with mounting a PV panel on the roof, wall, or ground. They want something interesting and/or interactive that the students can monitor over time. Has anyone done something like this that would be suitable? Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar
