Imagine you have a fruit that turns into juice when it's squeezed, like an orange. A solar panel is kind of like this: sunlight hits the panel, and it 'squeezes' out electricity. Inside the solar panel are tiny pieces called cells, and they use special materials to turn light into power. That’s how your house gets energy from the sun.
Examples
- A solar panel on a roof turns the sunlight into electricity, just like a fruit machine turns oranges into juice.
- Solar panels light up your house when there's sunlight, even on cloudy days.
- Your solar panel is like a plant that gets energy from the sun to grow.
