Do you know when the journey of solar panels started? The journey of solar panels began in 1839 when French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel first observed the photovoltaic effect. Fast forward to 1954 when Bell Labs introduced the world's first practical photovoltaic solar cell made of crystalline silicon, marking a turning point in solar technology. Since then, continuous advancements have led to the widespread use of solar panels for harnessing sunlight to generate electricity. The evolution from Charles Fritts' 1883 invention of a less efficient solar cell coated with gold to today's highly efficient and diverse solar panels showcases the remarkable progress in renewable energy innovation over the years. #Solarblocks #solar #solarpanels #solarenergy #solarpower #solarinstallers #solarinstallation #solarpanelinstallation #newyork #us
