Abstract:
1. A device comprising: an educational kit, said kit comprising: a) at least one photovoltaic module, each module having a top surface and an underside with attachment sites on the underside; b) at least one multimeter that measures current or voltage; c) a container with a lid exhibiting an external surface, said container comprising: i) a plurality of storage areas within the container, at least one storage area for storing said at least one photovoltaic module and at least one storage area for storing said multimeter; ii) attachment sites at various positions on the external surface of the lid that correspond to the attachment sites on the underside of said at least one photovoltaic module; and iii) means for temporarily fixing a position of said lid at a plurality of tilt angles when measured in degrees; and iv) electrical connection means for completing an electric circuit from said at least one photovoltaic module to said multimeter when said at least one photovoltaic module is attached to said lid; wherein current or voltage is measured real time when said lid is fixed at said plurality of tilt angles to observe quantitatively the effect an angle of incidence for incoming light has on current or voltage delivered by the at least one photovoltaic module.
