Solar Energy In 1839 Alexander Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect which explains how electricity can be generated from sunlight. He claimed that an electrode submerged in a conductive solution would create an electric current. ‘However even after much research and development subsequent to the discovery‚ photovoltaic power continued to be very inefficient a solar cell were used mainly for the purposes of measuring light. Solar energy is radiant light and

significant commitment to support the development of a vibrant solar industry. In 2006‚ SB1 established the California Solar Initiative. The initiative’s ambitious goal is to place solar electric systems on a million California roofs by 2016‚ with a total generating capacity of 3‚000 megawatts‚ equivalent to the peak output of three large nuclear reactors. Initiative critics claim that solar electricity is too expensive‚ and that the money spent on solar incentives would be better spent on other energy options

put my money on the sun and solar energy‚” stated Thomas Edison. Many people‚ including Thomas Edison‚ understood the value of solar energy. The use of solar energy has dated back to 700 B.C. Expenses for solar energy products are exceedingly high. Maintenance of solar powered utilities is virtually nonexistent. Solar products tend to be efficient in their work to make a clean planet. The function of a solar panel is to transform light into electricity. Solar panels can be used to power several
