Solar Panel and Motor – Regulating Power Consumption

Here is a great question from one of our readers.

I’m an engineering student and for an individual hobby-like project i purchased a small solar panel and a small solar motor. I am planning on making a small solar powered toy car. The question I have is: is there a way to connect a control or some other ways of regulating the power that is absorbed by the cells? Other wise the motor will just continue to run. Any answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Solar Power Lab Equipment

So, are you looking for a list of products that you can use for solar power lab experiments?  This is a list of different products that you can have in your lab to demonstrate how solar power works.

 

Solar Cell with L.E.D

  •    A solar cell is connected to a LED which lights up when the cell is placed in the sunlight

Solar Cell with Fan

  • A solar cell is connected to a fan which goes one when the solar cell is placed in the sunlight 

Solar Cell With Pulley

  • A solar cell is hooked up to a motor that operates a pulley when the solar cell isplaced in the sunlight

Solar Battery

  • A solar cell is hooked up to a battery which stores the electricity.  Then you can connect the battery to either the LED, fan, or pulley to demonstrate how the power is used when there is no sunlight
