Realizing its power to give heat and light, intrigued man from the beginning of time Leonardo da Vinci studied the sun and ways to harness it in the fifteenth century.
Harnessing the suns power to be used in batteries has been around since France decided it needed an alternate energy source long before the fuel shortage of the seventies.
The studies went on. The possibilities People around the world still chose to use coal and other nonrenewable energy sources as though they would never end, or have any consequences.
Three scientists from Bell Labs, Calvin Fuller, Daryl Chaplin and Gerald Pearson made the discovery that silicon was a very good semiconductor. Today solar cells and panels are usually made of silicon.
It is a long history, it is the future that depends on solar power and the ability to use the sun as an energy source and to not deplete the earth of nonrenewable resources.
This is the same in solar cell. This is the same solar electric cell that was produced in 1953 by the scientists at Bell Laboratories.
Today the assortment of solar powered battery chargers is amazing. You will find out that you are charged in solar battery chargers.
When these panels are placed in direct sunlight, the panels will convert the energy from the sun and store it in your battery. At first large and cumbersome, they are now pocket sized and more efficient.
Internal batteries will most likely have to be stored in the battery. Replacement of the device wears out. a weak battery in a new device is also a potential issue.
External solar chargers are great if you are plugged in to your electric outlet. You can plug it in a beach, in a foreign country or out in a boat with no AC power. They are also great if you are camping You can get solar panels large enough to keep everything in your camp charged and usable without tapping into electrical power.. They are great for any emergency, survival or your pleasure when electricity is not available.
The additional purchase of cables may be necessary in some instances.
Keep the connections clean and free from anything that may clog them and the panels themselves will function more efficiently if they are also kept clean and free from dust and grime.
