Humans have long been fascinated by the power of the sun. Since as early as the 7th Century B.C., humans used magnifying glass to spark fires with sunlight. Later, we used mirrors to light torches. But if you get too close to the power of the sun while continuing to use outdated methods and tools, you’re apt to crash and burn. Just ask Icarus.
Our curiosity with the sun has led us to work continuously to develop solar power and make harnessing the sun’s power a reality. Nowadays, you can use solar power to run your entire home. It can be used to clean water or power electric vehicles, trains and even spacecraft. It is even being used to power planes that can fly around the world.
A sun-powered future is bright and sustainable
Today, solar energy is one of the world’s cleanest, most sustainable energy resources. And decentralized solar power is currently the most cost-effective option for energy generation, compared to wind, gas, and coal.
