The U.S. Department of Energy states that 173,000 terawatts of solar energy strikes the Earth every second.

That's 10,000 times the world's total energy consumption.

That means enough sunlight hits the Earth every 40 minutes to power the ENTIRE WORLD for a full year.

In other words, enough sunlight hits the Earth in every single month to power the world for 1,000 years.

In three years' time – 36 months – we could capture enough energy to power the world for 36,000 years.

There was only one problem...

Back in 1905, no one – not even Albert Einstein – had the technology to harness this infinite power.

Consequently, for decades the world continued to burn oil, gas, and coal as trillions upon trillions of energy particles floated all around us, just out of reach.

Harnessing the Sun's Infinite Power.

Finally, in 1954, a solution.

Scientists working for Bell Labs created a new way to capture these energy particles and turn them into usable energy.

The way it works was a level of genius that would have made Einstein proud.

The scientists fashioned a "solar cell" with metal conductors on the surface.

When sunlight hits these conductors, energy particles are absorbed.

And here's where the magic happens.

As the sun's energy particles are absorbed, they knock the solar cell's existing electrons loose.

Because the solar cell is made of conductors, it is able to herd these electrons into a current and funnel it to an external device, such as a lightbulb.

Creating the world's first infinite source of electricity.
