About 4.57 billion years ago a molecular hydrogen cloud collapsed leading to a formation of a new star, our star, the Sun. This celestial body is responsible for the emergence of life on our planet, giving it energy through nuclear fusion. The sun is the reason that we have not only life on this planet, but it's also the reason the planet exists at all. It is not surprising that the Sun's energy potential is boundless. Our technology is only now trying to understand how we can collect its energy to our maximum benefit, which plants have so spontaneously done for billions of years. Though throughout man's history, Solar power has been used since the inception, we have only now began to explore how we can use it to generate electricity, a tool that our modern civilization can not do without.
