The solar panels are made with something called silicon. When the sun’s rays hit the panels, the electrons inside begin to move around and it gives us electricity!

Disadvantage: Solar panels are expensive because of what they are made out of.

World Map of Solar Resources

Some of the hottest places are near the equator because the sun shines directly on it. The equator is an imaginary line that wraps around the widest part of the earth.
