Inventing energy from sunlight

Sun rays have heat. E.S. in the direction of using this heat. In 1878, a scientist named Williams Adams from England pioneered. He succeeded in heating the boiler by arranging a circle of silver-coated mirrors facing each other to collect the sun's rays in between. Is. In 1883, John Ericson developed a solar engine by collecting the sun's heat with an inverted mirror.

After the discovery of electricity, it was also sought to obtain electricity from sunlight. Germany in 1904 Hall and cuprous oxide are sensitive to sunlight. By making such a discovery, the foundation of the invention of the solar cell was laid. Then scientists named Albert Einstein, Daryl Chapin, Kooler and Perce made successive researches and discovered the Earth solar cell in 1950. Today we have powerful solar cells that generate at most 30 percent of electricity from sunlight. A whole village can get electricity with solar panels. But behind this discovery there is 300 years of hard work of many scientists.
