Tamiya 75024 Solar Power Generator Kit - STEM Project Edition  [75024]

Overview of the Tamiya 75024 solar generator

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.

Simple build with visible energy flow

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.

Panel dimensions and expected output

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.

Educational uses and shelf display

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.
