"In 1953, the solar world started with a single 2 cm squared photovoltaic (PV) cell that was about 5 percent efficient and generated 5 milliwatts of electricity. In 2002, that world shipped over 500 million PV cells totaling 4 billion cm squared that were from 15 percent to 20 percent efficient and produced more than 500 megawatts (MW) of electricity." (SOLAR TODAY) This article presents the "history of Bell Labs and the solar cell."
