The Tamiya Solar Power Generator Kit gives a practical introduction to solar power through a small vehicle build. It demonstrates how a solar cell can be used to generate and store electricity for a short, free-running demonstration.
Included is a small car fitted with a solar panel and a capacitor that stores the electricity produced. Once charged, the car detaches and runs on its own for roughly three minutes, offering a clear example of sunlight converted into motion.
The packaged solar panel is 65x65mm and can deliver around 2.0V at 125mA under strong illumination (35,000lx). Charging speed and run length will vary with the light source and conditions encountered.
Beyond education, this kit makes an attractive demonstration piece that links simple design with practical tech. Its low complexity suits beginners and younger hobbyists who want to learn without advanced tools.
