of solar energy. (Background) Solar cells came about in 1883 designed by Charles Fritts. Solar did not come to America until later in the 1950s but was only used by NASA or for space applications. Introduced to the public in 1970 and was used to power navigation warning lights and horns on many offshore gas and oilrigs‚ lighthouses‚ railroad crossings. Domestic solar applications were viewed‚ as practical applications in remote locations where grid connected utilities could not exist affordably

Global Wind The region of Earth receiving the Sun’s direct rays is the equator. Here‚ air is heated and rises‚ leaving low pressure areas behind. Moving to about thirty degrees north and south of the equator‚ the warm air from the equator begins to cool and sink. Between thirty degrees latitude and the equator‚ most of the cooling sinking air moves back to the equator. The rest of the air flows toward the poles. The air movements toward the equator are called trade winds- warm‚ steady breezes
