Solar Thermal Exploration Kit
The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient.
For optimal results, we recommend using Go Direct® Temperature or another temperature probe with this kit.
