The History of Solar - Energy
www1.eere.energy.govsolid material could change light into electricity without heat or moving parts. 1880 Samuel P. Langley, invents the bolometer, which is used to measure light from the faintest stars and the sun’s heat rays. It consists of a fine wire connected to an electric circuit. When radiation falls on the wire, it becomes very slightly warmer.
