The history of solar cells involves scientific discovery, invention, and rivalry. We often consider solar power to be a new technology, but it dates back to ancient times. Humans have been using solar energy for light and heat for hundreds of years.
Vanguard I, the first solar-powered satellite, was launched with a 0.1 W, 100 cm2 solar panel 1959 – Hoffman Electronics creates a 10% eficient commercial solar cell and introduces the use of a grid contact, reducing the cell's resistance [12, 13]. These cells were shown to be more radiation resistant than silicon cells .
It is instructive to look at the history of PV cells since that time because there are lessons to be learned that can provide guidance for the future development of PV cells.
