WHEN DID SOLAR POWER START? when was it first used?


Question:


Answer:
Solar power has existed as long as humans have existed. It was used well ionto pre-history. The first use of solar power was probably in drying clothes or food.

Some of the very earliest written documents record the existence of dried dates and dried fish, which were of course sun dried.

The idea that it was first used in 5000BC is completely erroneous. Solar power is a prehistroic energy source and has been used in some form by every human society that has ever existed.
about 5000bc to heat stone tanks of water on roofs of noble home in Sumerian times
