Solar Fan Model
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11347
Quick answer: The Solar Fan Model is a solar-powered electromechanical teaching model: light on its photovoltaic element produces electrical output that runs a DC motor and turns a fan, converting light energy into mechanical motion and airflow. Students compare fan speed under different light levels, panel angles and shading. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the model is used in teaching
The solar fan adds a moving load to the basic solar circuit. Electrical energy from the photovoltaic element flows through a small DC motor, where the magnetic force on its current-carrying coil turns the shaft and the fan blades. Students can trace the energy transfers step by step, from light to electrical energy to kinetic energy of the blades and finally to moving air.
A motor needs a certain minimum power before it starts, so the fan responds clearly to changes in light. It may stop in shade, turn slowly under a weak lamp and spin quickly in bright sunlight, a useful observation when discussing load matching and solar-powered ventilation and cooling.
- Stand the model on a stable surface with the photovoltaic element facing the light.
- Watch the fan start as the light becomes strong enough.
- Shade part of the element and note the change in fan speed.
- Change the panel angle and compare the response under each condition.

Frequently asked questions
What energy conversions does the solar fan model show?
Light energy is converted into electrical energy by the photovoltaic element, then into mechanical energy by the motor, which turns the fan and moves air.
Why does the fan slow down in shade?
Less light reaches the photovoltaic element, so it supplies less electrical power to the motor and the fan turns more slowly or stops.
