This is a working model of a solar-powered house. It shows how solar energy can be harnessed from the Sun using a solar panel installed on the roof.
The panel converts sunlight into electricity, which lights up the house.
This model promotes renewable energy, helps reduce electricity bills, and is environmentally friendly.
The surrounding green garden adds to sustainability and aesthetics, encouraging clean energy in beautiful traditional homes.
Materials Required:
- Cardboard (for the house, solar panels, garden base)
- Color paper (for roof, walls, garden grass)
- LED lights (for sun and house lighting)
- Small solar panel (3V or 6V depending on LED)
- Small wires and switch
- Decorative items (artificial plants, tiny fence, pebbles)
- Glue, scissors, sketch pens
Video Steps to Make the Model:
Step 1: Build the House
- Use cardboard to build a rectangular base for the house.
- Create a sloped roof with red color paper to mimic Kerala-style tiles.
- Cut and attach small veranda columns, windows, and doors.
Step 2: Install Solar Panel and Wiring
- Attach the solar panel on the roof.
- Connect the panel to a LED bulb inside the house (use a switch if needed).
- Test with direct light or strong torch to ensure it powers on.
Step 3: Add Sun and LED
- On a small vertical cardboard stand, fix a yellow LED “Sun” above the house.
- Use wires and battery to light it (optional if solar alone isn’t bright enough indoors).
Step 4: Design the Garden
- Use green paper or artificial grass mat around the house.
- Add toy trees, flower plants, and a small fence using ice cream sticks or twigs.
