4 FAQs about Solar Power Station LEGO Knowledge Points

How do you test a solar station?

Test Setting Position the Solar Station at a distance of 15 cm (= 6 in.) from the light source. A 60W incandescent light bulb, high performance halogen emitters or any other light source that emits a high amount of IR spectra > 800 nm. Place the Solar Panel under the center of the light source.

How do you measure a light bulb on a Lego solar panel?

Place the Solar Panel under the center of the light source. Optimally the lamps diameter should cover the LEGO Solar Panel and have a parabolic reflector. To help students measure the distance of the bulb in the lamp to the Solar Panel, it is helpful to make a mark on the lamp casing, level with the center of the light bulb. Warning!

How much power does a solar panel generate?

How much power a solar panel generates depends on many factors including where it is positioned and how mobile it is. Some solar panels have special control mechanisms that can adjust them to follow the sun. Build, program and log data to investigate the NXT Solar Station's ability to generate power (W).

How do I change the emeter value on my NXT solar station?

Hint If you wish to change measurement values, select voltage (V) or amperage (A) values using the Sensor dropdown menu: Emeter In - V or Emeter In - A NOTE • If the NXT Solar Station doesn't track or falls behind the light source, it might be because the light source is moving too fast or is too far away.
