Kind Words about SunWind

“I’ve always appreciated how much your kits bring out the “maker” in kids! … I’m over the moon that we will get to be using them.”

“About our solar panels -By far the best that I have found”

K.H.

“We had our *Bring Your Child To Work Day* last week. The kids (ages 7 – 13) had a great time learning about solar power and building their cars. Hearing the younger kids squeal with excitement as their cars began to move on the patio was priceless. Having the spare parts in the kits was helpful too. Overall the kits were GREAT!”

W.B.

The car kits did arrive in time. The workshop was a hit! Kids had a great time assembling the kits with their parents. After the workshop, we brought the cars outside and the kids experimented with adjusting the solar panels and changing the direction of the car. It was great to watch their young minds at work! Thanks for a great product!

“By the way, I really appreciate your well designed SolGear kits – they are proving very useful with our education programs teaching solar PV and electric motor efficiency.”

P.K.

“These kits are a lot more hands-on than the last group I purchased and I am sure the students will enjoy the project quite a lot more.”

J.F.

“Your cars are incredible, they are so much fun and are a really effective way to show how an electric circuit works with a solar panel as the power source.”
