Solar energy was first discovered in 1839 by Alexandre Edmond Becquerel. He found that when a piece of selenium was exposed to light, it produced an electrical current. This discovery is what eventually led to the development and use of photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight into electricity. Read MoreDownload files
