The evolution of global sustainability over the past 20 years has seen significant advancements in solar technology, with costs falling globally and integration with other systems. The history of solar energy dates back to the 1950s, with improvements in efficiency and cost reduction over time. In the United States, support for solar energy has seen peaks under Presidents Carter and Obama, leading to the SunShot program and a significant drop in solar panel costs. With solar energy now the most economical way to meet rising electricity demand, new developments in technology such as rooftop panels, agrivoltaics, and emerging technologies like perovskites and thin film solar cells are driving further innovation. The future of solar energy looks promising, with advancements like see-through solar cells and orbiting systems expected to revolutionize energy solutions for years to come.
