This cartoon shows how solar power could be used to power all sorts of things. There are solar panels on the dog house, the car, the house and even the man’s hat!

Video on how solar power works

The following video explains the basics behind how solar energy is captured and used in a home as electricity. It also explains how the excess electricity that is generated goes back into the grid. Just imagine not having to pay an electric bill, but instead the electric company having to pay you!
