A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOLAR ENERGY 60,000 B.C. the first known passive solar house is built of interlocking mammoth tusks 100 A.D. Greeks and Romans used “burning mirrors” to focus sunlight as weapons of war to ignite fires and burn sails of enemy war ships 1839 Edmund Becquerel, the French experimental physicist, discovered the photovoltaic effect while experimenting with an electrolytic cell 1904 Albert Einstein, in his first published scientific paper, explains the photovoltaic effect by describing light in terms of “Quanta” he called “photons”. This laid part of the foundation for Quantum Theory. 1921 Albert Einstein wins the Nobel Prize for his theory explaining photovoltaics 1958 Vanguard I, the first PV-powered satellite, is launched 1973 The Terrestrial solar industry is born at a conference in Cherry Hill, New Jersey 2003 Worldwide production capacity for Photovoltaics surpasses 500 Megawatts per year, growing at a 35% per year pace. Grid connected PV grows at a rate of 100% per year.
The Photovoltaic Effect Phosphorous has one more electron than Silicon, and Boron has one less. When these materials are substituted into a Silicon crystal, it creates an electric field that sweeps electrons freed by light energy out of the cell and to a load. No material is consumed and the process could continue indefinitely.. P Si B The Photovoltaic Effect
