SOLAR POWER IN TODAYS WORLD JEROME T. GARDNER COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT Since first discovered in the 1860s‚ the concept of storing energy from the sun to use as a source of power has been studied and pursued by many programs. Either using solar collectors or photovoltaic cells‚ the methods of using solar power are becoming more efficient and cost-effective. Solar technology is currently being used by homes and businesses‚ but is still too expensive and risky for many residents. Researchers
