Description:
For the solar experiment, I used four Polysilicon Mini Solar Panels, each with 5V and 0.45W. These solar panels were connected in parallel to achieve a higher overall power output. Next, I connected a portion of an LED strip that can be powered by the generated solar energy.
Fabrication:
- The experiment was 3D-printed using PETG material on a Prusa MK3S+ 3D printer.
- The print was split into two parts, which were later securely joined using hot glue.
Functionality:
- The mini solar panels collect sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.
- The generated energy is then directed to the LED strip, causing it to illuminate.
Results:
- The 3D-printed LED strip serves as a visual indicator of success.
- When the solar panels produce sufficient energy, the LED strip begins to glow.
Note:
This experiment can be used as an educational tool in schools or as a fun DIY project at home.
