clusters of mirrors around a central tower.
The mirrors reflect the sun’s energy at the
tower. Then, the tower turns the energy
into electricity. Similar to sunflowers, the
mirrors turn as the sun crosses the sky.
HOW SOLAR PANELS WORK
. Solar panels turn energy
from the sun into electricity.
. Unused power
is directed to
power lines for
other use.
. A control
device changes
the electricity
so it can power
electrical items.
