Namuhla i Photovoltaic Solar Amandla kuya ngokuya kuvama kakhulu futhi kunezicelo eziningi emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukusizakala nge amandla elanga Akukusha kepha uma ubuchwepheshe be- amaphaneli elanga.
Isazi sefiziksi u-Alexadre-Edmond Becquerel uthathwa njengomunye wabokuqala ukubona umphumela we-photovoltaic ngonyaka we-1839, selokhu kwafundwa amandla we-photovoltaic, ugesi kanye ne-optics okwenza iminikelo ebalulekile yesayensi.
Okokuqala iseli elanga Yakhelwe futhi yakhiwa ngo-1883 nguCharles Fritts ngokusebenza kahle okungu-1%, okwakusebenzisa i-selenium enengqimba elincanyana yegolide njenge-semiconductor. Njengoba izindleko zayo zaziphezulu, yayingasetshenziswanga khiqiza ugesi kepha ngezinye izinhloso.
Umanduleli wamaseli elanga asetshenziswayo namuhla yileso esenziwe futhi sanikwa ilungelo lobunikazi nguRussell Ohl ngo-1946 kwazise naye wasebenzisa i-semiconductor silicon.
Amaseli e-silicon wesimanjemanje afana nalawa amanje athuthukiswa ngo-1954 kuma-laboratories eBells. Le ntuthuko yezobuchwepheshe yavumela amangqamuzana okuhweba elanga okuqala ngokusebenza kahle okungu-6% ukuthi avele emakethe ngo-1957. Aqala ukusetshenziswa kumasathelayithi asemkhathini eSoviet Union nase-United States.
La amandla elanga ekusetshenzisweni kwasekhaya avela ngo-1970 kusibali futhi amanye amaphaneli amancane ophahla.
Kwakungama-80s kuphela lapho ukusetshenziswa okuningi kwamandla elanga kwaziwa khona futhi kwaqala ukusetshenziswa ophahleni lwamapulazi nezindawo zasemakhaya.
Ngokuthuthuka kwe- ukusebenza kahle kwamandla kwamapaneli elanga nokwehla kwezindleko kuzenza zisetshenziswe kabanzi ezindaweni zasemakhaya nasemadolobheni nasemisebenzini yezohwebo kanye nasemakhaya abantu.
Amandla elanga azoba ngomunye wemithombo emikhulu evuselelekayo yaleli khulu leminyaka ngoba awungcolisi futhi athuthukise ukusebenza kwawo, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuwasebenzisela ukwenza ugesi ngobuningi bezimboni.
