The Solar water heater kit is a working model of a real solar water heating panel.

This interactive set shows how solar power can be harnessed to heat water, either outdoors in the sun or indoors with a lamp. Assembled in minutes, it can be used at all stages of education from primary school to university level to learn about renewable energy.

• Fill with cold water and watch the temperature increase as solar energy heats the panel

• Experiment with the insulating case open or closed, and with or without the insulation block fitted, to understand the effect on water heating efficiency

• Observe water temperature and external air temperature on the digital thermometer

• Measure maximum and minimum temperatures using the recording function and programmable alarm

• Durable, with a storage case to keep components organised and protected
