Technical FAQs 4

How did the first solar panels come to be?

Let’s take a walk through history to explore how the first solar panels came to be. The Early Days of Photovoltaics In 1884, Charles Fritts, a New York-based inventor, embarked on a groundbreaking experiment that would lay the foundation for the future of solar energy.

What was the first commercially viable solar panel?

Bell Labs’ silicon solar cell achieved a 6% efficiency rate, making it the first commercially viable solar panel. This innovation was pivotal in the solar energy history, as it opened the door to practical applications like powering homes and businesses. One of the first major applications of solar panels was in space exploration.

What was the first US patent for solar panels?

In simpler words, the first U.S. patent for solar panels! World-renowned physicist Albert Einstein published a paper on the theory behind the “photoelectric effect,” which officially proved how the sun creates energy through solar cells. This paper went on to win the Nobel Prize in 1922.

What happened in the history of solar energy?

We'll explore some of the biggest events that have occurred in the history of solar energy: Some of the earliest uses of solar technology were actually in outer space, where solar was used to power satellites. In 1958, the Vanguard I satellite used a tiny one-watt panel to power its radios.
