Smart scientists invented a very magical invention called 'solar panels.' If you look closely, you will find that many house roofs or streetlights along the roads are fitted with these beautiful large panels that look like blue sapphires. During the day, they act just like a 'super sponge,' soaking up the sunlight sent by Grandpa Sun and magically turning it into sparkling electricity. Solar energy is a super clean, green source of power that never creates dirty smoke when generating electricity. In the faraway space station, astronauts also rely on solar panels unfolded like giant wings on both sides to power all their high-tech instruments. Little Panda suggests: Turning off lights we aren't using at home lets us save energy and protect the environment, just like the astronauts in space!
