The History of Solar
Operated until 1999, Solar Two demonstrated how solar energy can be stored eficiently and economically so that power can be produced even when the sun isn''t shining.

In the 19th century, it was observed that the sunlight striking certain materials generates detectable electric current – the photoelectric effect. This discovery laid the foundation for solar cells. Solar cells have gone on to be used in many applications. They have historically been used in situations where electrical power from the grid was unavailable. As the invention was brought out it made solar cells as a prominent utilization for power generation for
