Script Speaker A

Yes, I've heard of solar panels. But I'm not that rich to buy one. And I'm also sceptical about them. Well, if you live in a hot country, you may install such a device onto your roof. But what's next? Does all the electricity supply depend on the panels, or do you still have to use sockets and plugs? If so, then I wouldn't even bother.

Speaker B

Oh, I've been dreaming about buying solar panels to save electricity and help the environment! But I live in Siberia—we don't have much sun here! And our winters are long and mostly dark. I've read that many celebrities, who care about nature, buy themselves the panels or even equip filming studios, theatres or other facilities with them.
