When top-tier manufacturing meets industry-leading #solar companies, everybody wins. Thank you Enphase Energy & Amicus Solar Cooperative for all of the great work you do... and for letting us join in on the fun this week!

Happy World Energy Efficiency Day! While progress is being made across the globe in a wide variety of sectors, here are three #SolarPower #EnergyEfficiency achievements to celebrate right now... 1. The first commercially viable silicon solar cell (developed by Bell Labs) had an efficiency around 6%. Today, most panels on the market have #SolarCell efficiencies of 20% or greater. 2. In 2025, research cells for #PVsolar have achieved certified testing efficiencies as high as 47.6%! 3. #EnergyStorage batteries are becoming denser and more efficient with continuously improving round-trip efficiencies for better solar systems, #EVs and more.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, I would like to put a spotlight on the work of Dr. Mária Telkes. Through her innovative work to harness the power of the sun, Dr. Telkes is also referred to as “the mother of solar energy”. Back in 1951, Dr. Telkes wrote: “Sunlight will be used as a source of energy sooner or later anyway….Why wait?” One of Dr. Telkes’ most important inventions was a portable solar powered water desalination tool that quickly became a part of emergency medical kits for American pilots during WWII. This life-saving device enabled soldiers stranded at sea to hydrate. Please join me in celebrating Dr. Telkes and all of the women in STEM fields, we wouldn’t be where we are today without you.
