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. installed the world's first rooftop photovoltaic solar array, using 1%-efficient cells, on a New York City roof in 1884. However, development of solar technologies stagnated in the early 20th centu.
As the U.S. and Soviet Union raced to launch satellites and spacecraft, solar energy offered an attractive way to generate power far from Earth. In 1958, the U.S. launched Vanguard 1, the first solar-powered satellite. Its radically new power system, made up of six solar panels, enabled it to remain in orbit for over six years.
Solar collector technology began developing in the USA in the mid 1970s under the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), and continued with the establishment of the USA Department of Energy (DOE) in 1978.
In the United States, the federal Solar Energy Research Institute (now the National Renewable Energy Laboratory) was created in 1977 to drive innovation in photovoltaics. Germany and Japan also emerged as early leaders in solar technology and manufacturing during this period.
The development of solar cell technology, or photovoltaic (PV) technology, began during the Industrial Revolution when French physicist Alexandre Edmond Becquerellar first demonstrated the photovoltaic effect, or the ability of a solar cell to convert sunlight into electricity, in 1839.
Charles Fritts, an American inventor, described the first solar cells made from selenium wafers. Heinrich Hertz discovered that ultraviolet light altered the lowest voltage ca-pable of causing a spark to jump between two metal electrodes. Baltimore inventor Clarence Kemp patented the first commercial solar water heater.
This timeline lists the milestones in the historical development of solar technology in the 2000s. First Solar begins production in Perrysburg, Ohio, at the world's largest photovoltaic manufacturing plant with an estimated capacity of producing enough solar panels each year to generate 100 megawatts of power.
La belle Hélène (French pronunciation: [la bɛl elɛn], The Beautiful Helen) is an opéra bouffe in three acts, with music by Jacques Offenbach and words by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy.
