These solar cells are ideal for school experiments and can be used to show:

The distance and angle between the light source and the solar cell affecting the voltage.

The distance and angle between the light source and the solar cell affecting the current.

This light intensity affecting the voltage and current of the solar cell.

The affect of the different wavelengths from different coloured lights on the voltage and current of the solar cell.

The cells are also usefull for classroom practicals and can be set up direct driving small low power devices or low voltage battery charging.
