Educational Solar Water Heating Demonstration Kit
Product Code : SCL-SK-12138
Educational Solar Water Heating Demonstration Kit (SKU SCL-SK-12138) shows students how sunlight heats water through solar thermal collection, absorption and heat transfer. It suits school and college science labs, environmental science classes, STEM clubs and exhibitions. Science Lab Supplies produces the kit at its Ambala manufacturing unit, Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, India, and offers it factory-direct to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Here is the full specification of the solar water heating kit. In short, a collector surface absorbs sunlight, or light from an approved lamp, and passes the heat to water; heating rate varies with light, collector area, water volume and ambient conditions, and capacity and materials are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Solar Water Heating Kit
With the kit, students can record the starting water temperature, expose the collector to light, and log the temperature at fixed intervals to plot a heating curve. It supports sources-of-energy and heat topics in middle and secondary school science, environmental science courses and renewable-energy projects.
- School science: the solar water heater as a use of solar energy.
- Heat lessons on radiation, absorption, conduction, convection and insulation.
- Logging water temperature at fixed intervals on a Thermometer (with no Mercury) scaled −10 to 120 °C, or on alcohol-filled Laboratory Thermometers reading −10 to 100 °C.
- Comparing heating with different collector angles, light intensity or insulation.
- Environmental science and sustainability projects.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Educational Solar Water Heating Demonstration Kit is supplied as one kit as described above. Whether a thermometer, stand, tubing set or activity guide is packed with it depends on the version offered, so the quotation names every part, and a thermometer can be added as a separate line.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a price for a single kit or for enough kits to run the practical in groups. The quotation confirms packing, delivery time and price for that number, and other science kits for students in India, such as the solar cooker or solar pump models, can be added to it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Your solar heating enquiry can reach the sales desk through the contact page; the enquiry cart holds a multi-item list, and the lab tender page outlines how bids are handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the solar water heating kit work?
Sunlight falls on a collector surface that absorbs it as heat, and that heat passes to the water. Students can measure the temperature rise over time to see solar thermal energy at work.
What water capacity and collector type does it have?
Both are confirmed on the quotation for the kit offered. Ask through the contact page, and the reply will state the water capacity, collector design and tank material, so you can plan the practical around them.
Is Science Lab Supplies a manufacturer or a reseller?
Kits like this one are assembled at Science Lab Supplies’ own plant at Saha in Ambala, India, which makes the company their manufacturer; each quotation is prepared by that plant rather than passed on by a reseller.
What safety care does the kit need?
Use it under teacher supervision. Heated water and collector surfaces can cause burns, reflective parts should not be pointed at eyes, and leaking tubing or joints should be repaired before use.
