Solar shingle

A solar shingle is like a special type of roof tile that helps make electricity from the sun. You know how the sun gives us heat and light? Well, solar shingles catch some of that sunlight and turn it into electricity we can use to power things like our homes!

Imagine a regular roof tile that has a special part on it called a solar cell. This solar cell is what does the magic of turning solar energy into electricity. And the good thing is that you might not even notice that the roof tile has a solar cell on it because it looks pretty much like a regular roof tile.

So, instead of having big solar panels that sit on top of a roof, we can use these special solar shingles that just blend in with the rest of the roof. They are like tiny sun-catchers that can make electricity for us to use, and we don't even have to think about it! It's like having a secret source of energy on top of our heads!
