The Shining Light of Solar Power

Solar power harnesses the power of the Sun to create electricity. From large solar farms covering entire fields, to panels on our roofs, and even solar-powered backpacks which charge electronic devices, solar technologies are fast becoming a major part of everyday life.

Solar power isn't all about modern technology, though. In fact, human beings have been harnessing the Sun's energy for centuries. In ancient times, people built south-facing homes with thick walls to absorb the Sun's rays and stay as warm as possible during colder months. They also used heat from the Sun to extract salt from sea water, and to dry out food items like meat to preserve them for cooking weeks or months later. It was only in recent history that we finally learned to use the Sun's energy to power machines.

In 1954, a company called Bell Laboratories invented the first solar cell. This development meant that people could use the power of the Sun to generate electricity. Though there had been experiments during its development, the first true test of this technology wasn't actually on this planet. NASA first used solar panels on their Vanguard 1 satellite in 1958. By the time NASA eventually lost communications with the satellite in 1964, it had completed its mission, proving just how reliable solar power could be.

Since then, solar panels have become even more efficient. In fact, the solar panels you see every day are already twice as efficient as the ones NASA used in the 50s. For solar power, the future is very bright indeed.
