Olney has it's claims as the "Home of the White Squirrels", but Solar Power too?
If you can't read this, here's what it says:
"In 1902, the first experimental Solar Power Plant was built in Olney, Illinois by H. E. Willsie and John Boyle, two American engineers. Their Solar Power Plant was based on an 1885 design developed by the French engineer Tellier. Between 1892 and 1908 Willsie and Boyle experimented with their low temperature Solar Plants that utilized 'hot boxes' to heat water. Their 'hot box' Solar Power Plant was patented in 1903. The results were published on May 13th 1909 in the issue of Engineering News."
Following this link describes their system, but oddly enough lists the "St. Louis Exposition" (which is the 1904 World's Fair) as their first installation. Hmmm...

ICSC staff showcase the latest models of the TekPak, a portable solar power generator, at the Manila Mini Maker Faire 2019 at the Mind Museum on June 22. The maker faire will be held until 6 PM of June 23. The TekPak is a sustainable and renewable solution to communications, lighting, medical, and other energy needs. TekPak 4 was designed by ICSC, Frederick Espitola of Solar Pilipinas, and Haiyan survivors. TekPak 5a and 5b were designed by ICSC, RE-Serve volunteers, Solar Scholars and Haiyan survivors, with support from Tuklas Innovation Labs. The units were assembled by Tacloban City Solar Scholars. The TekPak is the key component in the Solar Scholars training program of RE Charge Pilipinas. The program trains residents from disaster-prone and survivor communities to assess their energy needs and to utilize and maintain renewable energy systems, including the TekPak, during emergency and peacetime situations. RE-Charge Pilipinas, a post-Haiyan initiative of the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities, has reached seven provinces and continues to work with organizations and communities from all over the Philippines.

Taken on my 2018 trip to Rome, southern Italy, and Sicily.
This photo was taken from the tour bus as well drove from Catania to Agrigento and then on to Palermo.
I spotted this solar power panel design and thought it was cute! different! Who says they just have to be straight boring panels on roofs. This one at Kangaroo Point cliffs
