I thought make something + adj gives same meaning in this sentence ,as “solar-powered “ is adjective . Is it totally wrong or does it give different meaning ? – user90151 Nov 1 '19 at 22:41

Not in this case. made something into something =transform something. [not give meaning, have meaning].I made my sheets into a duvet cover. I made his clothes into a costume. – Lambie Nov 1 '19 at 22:45
