In this catalog we have gathered together the various solar construction sets and parts from our various other catalogs. For lightweight, low-torque model applications, solar power is a fun, educational, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional dry cell batteries. Each of the three different construction sets below includes a special solar panel and motor. We also have separate solar motors and matching solar panels from Eitech for use with all other construction sets.
