A really fun project to dip your feet into solar!
I wanted to start getting into solar panel projects but didn’t know where to start. It’s a bit overwhelming trying to learn a few skill set but after getting my hands on this sun-tracking solar panel kit, I felt much more equip to do larger projects.This kit is awesome! It has everything you need to complete the sun-tracker, which worked very well. The instructions were easy to follow and I was really proud of it in the end. It was my first time working with most of the components of the kit.Highly recommended for anyone looking to get into solar stuff, and for children who are curious about renewable energy.

No trae el programa
No tiene el programa en Arduino, pueden escribirme si lo necesitan.El QR lleva a una página,pero el código de allí no es funcional

The servo motors don’t fit
I was real excited about that little project! All the components look really good and quality made. I was at the step where the servo motors get build in and was wondering why there is a gap.(see picture) I’m pretty sure they updated their servos but didn’t change the design. Those servos do not fit that design. So unless they change the design or servos, it’s basically not working. Otherwise I would give more stars!

Great Concept, Frustrating Execution
Building the SolarX V2 with my son felt like a promising venture into the world of solar STEM projects. The kit itself boasts quality materials that give it a sturdy feel right out of the box, which is always a plus when you're handling electronic components.However, we hit a snag with the instructions—they were pretty challenging to follow. It seemed like they skipped crucial steps, leaving us puzzled more than once. Despite our best efforts, our finished product didn't function as advertised. It was supposed to track the sun, but ours sadly stayed still, which was a letdown, especially since my son was really looking forward to seeing it in action.For those of you who are adept at circuitry and perhaps can navigate poorly laid-out guides better than we did, this kit might still be a hit. For us, it was a mixed bag: great quality and educational potential, but marred by frustrating instructions. Here's hoping the company takes note and improves the manuals—this kit has a lot of potential waiting to be unlocked.

Fun KIT!
This is a fun and useful project that allows anyone building it to understand how "follow the sun" solar panels work. Kit is complete with my only request would be to include a couple of wrenches to properly tighten the hex stand offs to the project base. Everything is nicely bagged and identified and the instructions are clear on how to assemble. ENJOYABLE! GOOD PRODUCT!

Great kit if you know what you're doing
This is such a cool idea and the kit has all the parts, but the instructions are lacking in a way that requires someone with electronics knowledge to help a user to resolve the missing steps. My daughter was putting this together and needed a lot more help from me than I had expected, which made both of us a bit frustrated. However, once we managed to get it going, it worked and is pretty cool.Unfortunately, it means you should only get or gift it if there's someone with enough knowledge who is readily available and can supplement the basic (not great) instructions. It's basically like a service that provides with all necessary parts and you provide the knowledge.

Educational but needs work
This solar tracker kit aimed to pique my daughter's interest in STEM, particularly as she explores engineering concepts in high school. The kit's focus on assembly, building, and scientific exploration aligns well with her academic interests.The components themselves are well-organized, with labeled bags and pre-cut wooden pieces for ease of assembly. Additionally, the inclusion of spare parts caters to potential mishaps during construction. These aspects make the kit user-friendly for students.However, a major shortcoming lies in the included instructions. They lack crucial steps and information, making them incomplete and difficult to follow. My daughter primarily relied on reference images and videos to complete the assembly process. Clear instructions are essential for an educational kit, as they guide students through the learning process and ensure successful project completion.Despite the instructional challenges, my daughter persevered and was able to complete the project, ultimately appreciating the functionality of the solar tracker. The well-organized components and inclusion of extra parts deserve mention as positive aspects.Overall, this kit presents a promising concept for STEM education. However, the current iteration requires significant improvement in the quality of the instructions to fully support student learning and maximize its potential as an educational tool.

Must be able to problem-solve during build
I have a son who is great at assembling, building, and improvising. He is also very curious and I thought this kit would keep him busy and he would use it to charge his devices. I was correct. It was fairly easy for things to come together but the instructions were lacking. They are incomplete and not easy to follow. My son ended up looking at the pictures of the completed project and the video to put the rest together. If the instructions were complete, I would have given this kit 5 stars as it does work!
