Solar USB Kit 2.0
Product Details & Documents
Teach any child or student the power of solar energy by building a USB solar charger!
- Build time 30 to 60 minutes
- Suitable for grades 8+

The finished charger is capable of charging small electronic devices. Three rechargeable AA batteries, that when soldered to the solar panel, create a charging circuit that allows solar energy to be stored in the batteries. A Baltic Birch enclosure houses all of the internal parts and is held together by screws. We recommend painting or staining your enclosure to add a personal touch to it.
