Does Lego have solar panels?

LEGO has a wind turbine kit, modern home with rooftop solar kit, and several LEGO spaces kits with solar panels. My kids and I built the International Space station kit shortly after it was introduced in February 2020, then bunkered down in the spring to watch (and occasionally re-watch) LEGO Masters.

Can solar panels generate electricity?

Solar panels have the ability to convert solar energy into electrical energy. They are used to generate electricity for large utility grids, for satellites in space and in isolated locations for small communities or single homes. Now build the Solar Station and investigate its ability to generate power.
