What is this?

A solar panel is a device composed of photovoltaic cells that convert solar radiation into electrical energy. Solar panels absorb and store the sun’s energy, which is then converted into Direct Current (DC) electricity. This energy can be used to power a variety of devices, from small electronic devices to large-scale power stations. Solar panels are an important renewable energy source and allow for the generation of clean, green, and cost-effective energy. Additionally, solar panels require little to no maintenance and are a reliable source of energy for decades. Beyond providing energy for homes and businesses, solar panel technology is being utilized in fields such as space exploration, providing the source of the electricity needed to power satellites, probes, and other experiments.

to be bad for the economy generally, except for the easy things like contraptions, like carbon capture and sequestration, or let's build more solar panels because solar uses less carbon than coal or gas, which is true.

or diarrhea, your impulse is to connect with your network, your friends, your community. then if you do get sick, you're probably going to re-plug in those solar panels to the water purifier.
