Narratives:Adventures of ‘solar caterpillars’

My story is about the adventures of ‘solar caterpillars’. This topic was inspired by the pictures of thin film solar cells.

I think it will be interesting if I introduce the solar applications as adventures of caterpillars. The story is simple actually. Solar cells are born due to the sun, so the first scene is sunrise. Then several solar cells fall down to the ground slowly as falling leaves. The solar cells compose some pieces of thin-film solar panels. Magic happens!!! The solar panels seem to wake up and start creeping as caterpillars. What do they belong to? Who needs them? They are looking for the answers…They creep along the road and pass through a street lamp. The leading caterpillar then creeps toward the top of the lamp and successfully makes it glow. The rest ones go on creeping and find a car stopping at side of the road. They are exciting to climb to the top of the car and power the car to drive away. Creeping…until encountering a green house, they jump to the roof of the house and produce electricity and absorb heat, which are beneficial to harvest lots of good quality plants, such as huge pumpkins. That’s amazing but not the end, because there are still some solar panels haven’t find their significance. Later they meet a plane and power the plane fly away. They also illuminate the traffic lights and operate a lovely solar flower. They ascend the slope and encounter a high skyscraper. They leap to the skyscraper and form new shining clothes which can even reflect the blue sky. Night falls, many pretty LED images appear on the clothes and the skyscraper become more attractive. Adventures are nearly ending, but what about the rest caterpillars? Oh~ they are growing into butterflies~~~ Following with the sight of the solar butterflies, we see a big beautiful urban. That’s the story of solar technology and Urbanisation.
