About This Reader
This passage focuses on solar energy as an example of renewable energy for children. It explains how solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity for use in homes and schools. The text highlights the benefits of solar energy, including its lack of pollution compared to fossil fuels and its quiet operation. It concludes by emphasizing the long-term availability of solar energy, helping children understand the concept of sustainability in energy production.
Solar energy is a great example of renewable energy. It comes from the sun, which shines every day. We use special panels called solar panels to catch the sun's light. These panels turn sunlight into electricity that we can use in our homes and schools. Solar energy doesn't create pollution like burning coal does. It's also very quiet. As long as the sun keeps shining, we'll have solar energy to use.
