Leading German solar power technology player Schott Solar develops outstanding solar suitcases for school students. The solar suitcases are meant to produce the power required for science experiments for students in their classrooms. Along with assisting students to produce power for experiments, solar suitcases will certainly help them have an idea on the possibilities of solar energy for sustainable development. Indeed, it will provide inspiration for many solar power innovators in the world to come up with similar technologies for school and college students.
Simply speaking, the solar suitcases of Schott Solar will help students provide power for the experiments they are involved in classrooms. That is, in another words, solar suitcases will replace traditional batteries. The difference is only that the energy comes from the sun instead of power plugs on the wall, but the effect is enormous among enthusiastic students.
As per reports, several schools in Germany have so far provided solar suitcases for students instead of conventional batteries for physical experiments. According to Andreas Pysik, a science trainer at the Gonsenheim secondary school in Mainz, solar suitcases made positive impacts among pupils, who could really enjoy the benefits of solar energy in their experiments.
With these kinds of innovative technologies, students indeed get chances to discover something through their experiments with much enthusiasm. Students simply realize that they are not inflicting any harm to the environment they are living in while depending on solar power. This should be the major accomplishment of solar power suitcases among the student community.
Schott Solar’s solar suitcases comprise of a number of small solar panels to produce the energy from sunlight. The device also sports some basic components for physical experiments for students. The device comes packed up with a CD, which will include tips to instruct students how to use the entire system and to get in physical experiments using solar power.
Schott Solar announced that the very inspiration to develop the technology was from the thought to make the upcoming generations aware of sustainable development through appropriate usage of solar energy. It looks like that the solar suitcase will be placed for display at the annual conference of the German Association for the Promotion of Mathematics and Science Teaching in Mainz, Germany.
