Imagine sunlight as tiny invisible balls called photons that bounce off the sun and hit your solar panel. When they touch special materials inside the panel, they give up their energy to make electricity, like giving a little push to start a toy car.
Examples
- A solar panel on a rooftop turns sunlight into electricity that powers the lights and fridge in your home.
- A toy car with tiny solar panels charges up when you shine a flashlight on it.
- Solar panels on a calculator let it work even when there's no battery.
