Solar panels have been trending like nothing else. We have seen houses and commercial buildings equipped with solar panels in many areas of Australia.

That’s why we are about to share some incredible facts about solar panels with you.  

First Solar Panel was invented in 1941

Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the first photovoltaic effect in 1839, which had the ability to generate electrical current from natural light (sun’s rays). Shortly after that, Russell Ohl made a life-changing discovery of solar panel cells in 1941, and it was first commercially used by Bell Laboratories in 1954.
