→i like this part Electricity from the sun can be

made by using solar panels. Solar panels

are flat pieces of silicon (a dark grey substance)

covered with glass. The panels have wires inside them that

are connected to a power system.

The panels are usually placed on the roofs of buildings.

When the sun shines on the solar panels, the sunlight makes

electricity inside the panels. This electricity then travels

through wires to where it can be used to power things such as

lights, ovens, fridges, and televisions.
