01 / GENERATION

Electricity from sunlight

Solar cells convert sunlight into electrical energy. An inverter changes the electricity into a form suitable for the grid.

Look closer

Solar panels produce electricity when light reaches them. Batteries can store energy for later use.

The lines show a learning route, not a dedicated supply to one building. Real grids combine many sources. Some rooftop solar systems supply a building directly.

ELECTRICITY AT WORK

What does the city use it for?

Choose a place to look inside.

At home

Electricity runs lights, refrigerators, fans, and many other appliances. Some homes also use it for cooking and heating.

Smart choice: turn off lights when you leave an empty room.

A QUICK DISCOVERY

Which one stores energy for later?
