How to Draw a Solar Panel
Draw a solar panel in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the tilted panel.
Step 1: The tilted panel
In the middle of your paper draw a big tilted rectangle, like a panel leaning back toward the sun.
Step 2: Rows
Draw 2 lines across the panel, edge to edge, slanting like the top, to cut it into 3 strips.
Step 3: Columns
Draw 3 lines down the panel, edge to edge, slanting like the sides, to make 12 little boxes.
Step 4: The pole
Start on the panel's bottom edge, under the middle, and draw a long pole straight down with a flat end.
Step 5: The brace
From halfway down the pole, draw a short slanted line up to the panel's bottom edge.
Step 6: The foot
Under the end of the pole draw a flat foot, a short wide shape with slanted sides.
Step 7: The ground
Draw the ground line across under the foot, stopping before each edge. Add 2 grass blades each side.
Step 8: The sun
In the top left corner draw a small round sun with 8 short rays.
Step 9: Yellow sun, grey pole
Colour the sun yellow. Colour the pole and the foot grey.
Step 10: Navy panel
Colour all the little boxes navy blue. Go over your lines and your solar panel is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a solar panel, drawn by you.
