Solar Panel<br />

The LEGO Solar panel provides sufficient power to<br />

operate LEGO mot<strong>or</strong>s. It delivers: 3V, 200mA in full<br />

sunlight outdo<strong>or</strong>s, 3V, 100mA indo<strong>or</strong>s with full sun outdo<strong>or</strong>s,<br />

2.5V, 8mA with light from a<br />

60W incandescent bulb<br />

positioned 25 cm from<br />

the solar panel (2000<br />

lux), and 2.5V, 40mA<br />

with light from a<br />

60W incandescent<br />

bulb positioned<br />

8 cm from the panel<br />

(10,000 lux).<br />

Technology<br />

Using a LEGO solar panel <strong>or</strong> a LEGO mot<strong>or</strong> as generat<strong>or</strong>,<br />

the capacit<strong>or</strong> can be charged and discharged just like a<br />

rechargeable battery. The capacit<strong>or</strong><br />

can be used f<strong>or</strong> powering a LEGO<br />

mot<strong>or</strong>. When the capacit<strong>or</strong> is fully<br />

charged, operating voltage is<br />

n<strong>or</strong>mally 2.5V. A red diode<br />

lights flashes when<br />

fully charged.<br />

The capacit<strong>or</strong> is<br />

protected against<br />

reverse polarity.<br />
