The sun has been used to generate electricity for a long time. Here’s an excerpt from an article that’s pretty easy to understand about the history of solar power:
The history of photovoltaic energy (aka. solar cells) started way back in 1876. William Grylls Adams along with a student of his, Richard Day, discovered that when selenium was exposed to light, it produced electricity. An electricity expert, Werner von Siemens, stated that the discovery was “scientifically of the most far-reaching importance.” The selenium cells were not efficient, but it was proved that light, without heat or moving parts, could be converted into electricity.
In 1953, Calvin Fuller, Gerald Pearson, and Daryl Chapin discovered the silicon solar cell. This cell actually produced enough electricity and was efficient enough to run small electrical devices. The New York Times stated that this discovery was “the beginning of a new era, leading eventually to the realization of harnessing the almost limitless energy of the sun for the uses of civilization.”
Solar-powered kiosks and trailers from NV3 can enhance any business model that is looking for a more green solution to the need for cell phone charging on-the-go. Visit our website and call us today to find out how we can provide a solution that will help your world stay connected.
