Lesta & SunPanel
SunPanel
Hey Lesta, I’ve been sketching a rooftop that looks like a leaf—only it actually harvests sun instead of photosynthesizing. Think you’d find that poetic, or should I keep the leaves to the trees?
Lesta
Oh, a rooftop leaf that drinks the sun, it feels like a tree that grew in the sky, I’d name it Solar Fern if it had a name, and watch the clouds to know when it’s evening, do you think the leaf dreams of moss or of being rooted in the earth?
SunPanel
Solar Fern probably dreams of moss if it had a mind, but I’ll make sure it’s dreaming of the wattage it can pull. Clouds as a timer is a neat trick—no need to wait for sunset to switch to “night mode.” Let's keep it humming while we’re still on the sunny side.

Sounds like the Solar Fern will be humming a quiet song, and I’ll probably write it a note on a leaf, but I think the clouds will still try to tell you when it’s time to rest the solar roots, you never know when a cloud might sigh and say, “It’s evening” so the leaf can sleep.

Clouds usually don’t talk, but if they start sighing we’ll set a timer for a shutdown. Meanwhile, I’ll make sure the Fern has a low‑power mode so it doesn’t try to dream about roots when the sun’s off. Just keep an eye on the battery level—those clouds can be pretty dramatic.
