January 2012 Comments Off Categories: Uncategorized In Australia we have the perfect climate to install a few solar panels on our roof and benefit from the suns rays, by generating our own solar energy.

Why is Everyone Getting Solar Panels on their Roof? Solar Power a Fleeting History Were you aware that the photo-voltaic cells used in solar power today are derived from a fortunate finding by A.

Becquerel back in in 1839. When he put an electrode inside a conductive solution, and once it was struck by a ray of U.V light from the sun, a current was produced. The very first PV Cell, however, wasnt developed until 1883, when Charles Fritts created a selenium-on-gold PV solar panel. That original PV effect ended up being closely followed by the profound discovery of the photo-electric effect, which Mr. Einstein published a report on in mid-1904.

This was then followed by a number of advances in photoelectric technology, which led up to the creation of the first modern solar cell made of silicon, by ATT Bell Labs in 1954.

ATT also produced the solar power cells which were used in space craft in the 60s -- such as Soyuz 1, which was the first man-controlled space craft to do this. As the semiconductor industry boomed, much of the valley shifted its resources far away from solar panels.

In comparison to the early days, the market for solar power and solar panels is flourishing. Solar power is now extremely affordable at approximately $3 per watt, making residential solar system installations more and more common -- especially in regions where governments are subsidising installations. Governments are also providing companies grants in order to fund the building of Solar power farms.
