This lab was purchased for my grandson. This father said the solar panel didn't work. But that he could replace it easily. The remaining parts of the kit were usable and my grandson and his father enjoyed it. Not sure if I'd buy it again.

My son enjoyed playing with this particular set. It kept his atttention until he ran out of experiments. There should be more experiments in the kit and they should be more involved.
