Nah! it is reported that almost 150 years ago,  in1861 Auguste Mouchout developed the first steam engine powered entirely by the solar energy. And about a centaury ago, in 1913, European scientist experimented on the first solar power plant in the world in Maadi, Egypt. It was in operation for less than a year but has disappeared from history since then. At present, sand and houses cover the former location in Maadi, south of Cairo.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThough not much is known about this ancient green plant, two Swiss artists Christina Hemauer and Roman Keller are hell bent on digging out more about this out-of-sight historic green shrine.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1208\/15\/first_solar_power_plant2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1208\/15\/first_solar_power_plant2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=1024,height=604,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/first_solar_power_plant2-thumb-450x265.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"265\" alt=\"first_solar_power_plant2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/egyptianchronicles.blogspot.com\/2008\/12\/first-solar-power-plant-in-world-was-in.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Egyptianchronicles<\/a>] And [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sun1913.info\/?page_id=114\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Sun1913<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us are harping about the solar power and its advantages in today&#8217;s day and age.
