Solar Energy InformationSolar Energy HistorySolar energy has been discovered for hundreds of years. It has been harnessed since the late 1800s. The technology isn't new, but the methods of production are. The thing that has held back solar energy is that new innovations were always more expensive than free flowing oil. It takes massive amounts of money to develop a new infrastructure. We all remember the dot com boom. It may have been fleeting, but massive amounts of wealth were put into internet technologies and a new infrastructure was put into place.Solar Energy Industry InfrastructureToday, that same transformation is underway. The tipping point has finally arrived. New solar energy companies are cropping up everywhere and they are getting funding by major investment firms. For example, Google is a major player in the thin film solar company Nanosolar.Thin Film Solar EnergySolar Energy is trapped by solar panels and that is the primary way the industry is going. The difference, of today, is that solar can now be printed on thin film plastics with dyes and nanotechnology ink. The price of solar is expected to drop dramatically. If there is enough competition, solar will be able to replace coal fired plants and be used in all kinds of new applications. If all goes well, solar energy will be the dominant energy source in twenty years.
