Solar cells are being widely developed in various applications such as power plants, street lighting, battery replacements on portable devices, and so on. But its use in daily life in Indonesia is still minimal. This is because public understanding about solar cells, in general, is still lacking. Therefore, there needs to be an effort to educate the public about solar cells so that this technology can be used as part of students' learning from an early age so that the future generations can properly utilise solar cells; so that they are also inspired to develop them with more innovation. But learning about solar cells in schools is still very rarely done because of various factors including lack of learning devices about solar cells that are systematic and appropriate to the level of development of students, teacher competencies that have not received sufficient stock about solar cells, and most of the literature is in foreign languages. Therefore, it is necessary for learning tools that make it easier for teachers to teach the students. In this paper, we proposed an Edukit 4.0 as a learning tool for the junior high school level that is easy to understand, interesting, and a measurable evaluation system. TheEduKits 4.0 is equipped with smartphone apps to provide visual interface for experiments and learning in the education 4.0 environment. The obtained results show the positive gain in learning experiences for students. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
