OverviewDevelopment and deploymentPotentialTechnologiesEconomicsGrid integrationEnvironmental effectsPolitics

The early development of solar technologies starting in the 1860s was driven by an expectation that coal would soon become scarce, such as experiments by Augustin Mouchot. Charles Fritts installed the world''s first rooftop photovoltaic solar array, using 1%-efficient selenium cells, on a New York City roof in 1884. However, development of solar technologies stagnated in the early 20th centu

Solar power

Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert

Solar Power Generation – photovoltaic systems, historical development

Solar power generation, along with wind power, is an important option with huge global potential due to rapidly falling cost and the absence of various serious issues as those of nuclear
