The Ancient History of Solar Power

Imagine you’re a member of an ancient tribe etching out an existence with your fellow tribesmen and every morning you the inky black of night are replaced by golden beauty that sucks the darkness and cold away gradually.
From this perspective, it’s not hard to see why early civilisations like the Greeks and Persians saw the sun as a god and worshipped it.
The scientific potential of the sun has been speculated about for almost as long as well.

How long has solar power been used?

Solar power is not a new fad that came in with Live 8, Crocs, wooden cutlery and the IPad. This incredible way of generating electricity is almost as old as humankind and has been used for millennia.
Not many people know that the ancient Greeks and Native Americans made sure their homes were built on the side of hills so that they would collect as much sun as possible and keep them warm at night.
Glass was also used in ancient Roman times to trap heat in, the earliest example of the much cited greenhouse effect!
The ancient Romans also made it illegal to block the sun from a neighbour’s house. 
The ancient Chinese also built their homes and cities to take advantage of the sun’s heat.
The importance of the sun has always been a key part of the collective human psyche and it was very early in our civilisation that we realised how important the sun is and what it’s potential could be.

Why should I invest in solar power now?
