We Care Solar Learning Kits

Real Solar Engineering. Real Global Mission.

Students assemble a complete, working 12V DC stand-alone solar power system using the same industry-standard components WeCareSolar deploys in schools and clinics across East Africa — and when it’s done, it works.
Build Real Solar Technology

Build Real Solar Technology

Students assemble a complete, working 12V DC system using industry-standard components.

Put Engineering Concepts Into Practice

Put Engineering Concepts Into Practice

Measure voltage and current, calculate power and energy, and investigate what affects solar output.

Capture sunlight, charge a battery, light LEDs, and power devices with electricity students generated themselves.

What Students Will Do

Working in teams of 2–3, students build a complete solar power system by hand, measure what it produces, calculate power and energy, design their own system, and connect their work to WeCareSolar’s East Africa mission.
  • Assemble a 12V DC solar charge controller, wiring, circuit breakers, switches, reversible terminal blocks, and DC power receptacles by hand
  • Measure voltage and current using a digital multimeter
  • Calculate power and energy output from real data
  • Explore and record variables that affect solar output
  • Build a complete stand-alone solar power system that actually works
  • Design a solar-electric system in Lesson 5 using skills developed in Lessons 1–4
  • Connect their build to WeCareSolar’s East Africa mission
  • Follow real impact stories as deployed kits reach schools and clinics abroad

Step 1—Students review illustrated instructions and illustrated safety guide. Supervised classroom use required throughout.

Step 2—Lesson 1 (Solar Exploration): students investigate variables that affect solar output and connect the kit to real-world solar energy applications.

Step 3—Lesson 2 (Stand-Alone Solar Electric Systems): students build the system, wiring a solar charge controller, circuit breakers, switches, terminal blocks, and DC receptacles using industry-standard components.

Step 4—Lessons 3–4 (Voltage & Current; Power & Energy): students use a digital multimeter to measure voltage and current, then calculate power and energy from real data.

Step 5—Lesson 5 (Design a Solar-Electric System): students apply what they’ve learned to design a solar-electric system of their own.

Step 6—Flip the switch. The system works: battery charges, LED lights, phone charges — powered by sunlight students captured themselves.

Step 7—Kit is disassembled. Fully reusable for the next class cohort.

The We Care Solar Learning Kit puts two things in students’ hands that most science and engineering activities separate: real hardware and a real mission.

The hardware is not a model. Students wire the same industry-standard components — solar charge controller, circuit breakers, terminal blocks, DC receptacles — that solar professionals use in the field and that WeCareSolar deploys in East Africa. When students flip the switch, the system works. That moment is physical proof that what they built is real.

The mission is not a video. As WeCareSolar installs kits in schools and clinics across East Africa, they share the resulting impact stories back with classrooms. Students can follow the real-world trajectory of a system like the one they assembled. That global throughline transforms a STEM activity into a service-learning experience — and connects engineering skills to global citizenship in a way that simulation-based curricula cannot.

This program fits CTE pathways, engineering courses, physics and environmental science classes, summer camps, out-of-school learning programs, and service-learning programs.

Why Teachers Love We Care Solar

Build a Real Working Solar System

Build a Real Working Solar System

Students assemble a complete 12V DC stand-alone solar power system using industry-standard components. They wire the system, measure its output, and see the results firsthand—the battery charges, an LED lights, and a phone can charge using power captured from sunlight.

Same Technology Used in East Africa

Same Technology Used in East Africa

The systems students build use the same type of technology WeCareSolar deploys to bring reliable electricity to schools and clinics in East Africa. Students gain a meaningful connection between classroom engineering and real-world energy access.

Turn Solar Concepts Into Hands-On Learning

Turn Solar Concepts Into Hands-On Learning

Students work in teams to explore solar output, measure voltage and current, calculate power and energy, and investigate the variables that affect system performance. They apply their learning by designing a solar-electric system of their own.

Five Lessons Ready for the Classroom

Five Lessons Ready for the Classroom

The included standards-aligned, project-based curriculum provides five lessons covering solar exploration, stand-alone solar systems, voltage and current, power and energy, and solar-electric system design. The curriculum provides a minimum of five hours of instruction and includes an illustrated assembly guide.

One Class Pack, Year After Year

One Class Pack, Year After Year

With 10 reusable kits serving up to 24 students, this class pack is designed to support multiple cohorts. Students disassemble and reassemble the systems each year, giving new learners the opportunity to build, test, and troubleshoot real solar technology.

Connect Engineering to Global Impact

Connect Engineering to Global Impact

As WeCareSolar deploys systems abroad, impact stories come back to the classroom. Students can follow how solar technology like the system they built helps schools and clinics, creating a service-learning connection that extends beyond the lab.

"Instead of just reading about solar energy or looking at a diagram, they’ll be able to set up the solar panel, collect real data, charge the battery, power a light, and see firsthand how changing different variables affects the system. I think even some of my students who are normally hesitant to participate in traditional group work will want to get involved because there is something tangible for them to investigate."

Frequently Asked Questions

What do students build with the We Care Solar Learning Kit?

Students assemble a complete, working 12V DC stand-alone solar power system using industry-standard components: a solar charge controller, wiring and connectors, circuit breakers, switches, reversible terminal blocks, and DC power receptacles. When the build is complete, flip the switch — the battery charges, an LED lights up, and a connected phone starts charging, all powered by sunlight students captured themselves.

How is this kit connected to We Care Solar’s mission?

The technology students build in the classroom is the same technology We Care Solar uses to bring reliable electricity to schools and health clinics across East Africa, a region where millions still live without dependable power. As kits are installed abroad, We Care Solar shares the resulting impact stories back with classrooms — so students can follow the real-world trajectory like the kit they assembled. This global throughline makes the kit a service-learning experience as well as a STEM engineering activity. See the impact.

How many students does the class pack serve?

The class pack includes 10 kits. Each kit is designed for 2-3 students working in teams, so one class pack serves 24 students. The five-lesson curriculum supports a full class working simultaneously.

What curriculum is included?

The class pack includes a five-lesson, standards-aligned, project-based curriculum: Solar Exploration; Stand-Alone Solar Electric Systems; Voltage & Current; Power & Energy; and Design a Solar-Electric System. Minimum instructional time is five hours. Assembly guide and year-round tech support through WeCareSolar are also included.

Is the kit reusable?

Yes. The We Care Solar Learning Kit is fully reusable — designed to be disassembled and reassembled year after year. Each class pack can serve multiple cohorts of students from a single purchase. The kit also doubles as emergency backup power when needed.

Are there any safety considerations?

Yes. The kit includes circuit breakers and standard electrical safety components, and is built for supervised classroom use. Illustrated safety instructions are provided with every kit. Adult supervision is required during all assembly and testing activities.
