In today’s eco-conscious world, solar energy systems have become a symbol of sustainability and independence. But have you ever wondered how far we’ve come since the invention of solar panels? At ProLuxMax, we’re proud to be part of this incredible journey — bringing the power of the sun to homes and businesses across Northern Cyprus.
🔬 When Were Solar Panels Invented?
The roots of solar power go back to 1839, when French physicist Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect — the science behind converting sunlight into electricity. But it wasn’t until 1954 that the first practical silicon solar cell was created by Bell Labs in the USA. These early panels had an efficiency of around 6% and were primarily used in space exploration.
Fast-forward to today, and we have highly advanced solar panels with efficiencies over 22% — a revolution in both design and performance.
📉 How Solar Panel Prices Dropped Over Time
In the early days, solar energy was a luxury — costing nearly $76 per watt in 1977! But due to global demand, improved production methods, and technological innovation, the price has dropped to just a few cents per watt today.
Thanks to this price decline, solar energy systems in Northern Cyprus have become an affordable solution for both homes and businesses — especially with ProLuxMax’s customized and scalable solar solutions.
Fun Fact: The cost of solar panels has dropped by over 99% in the last 40 years!

⚡ Solar Panels Are More Efficient Than Ever
Modern photovoltaic systems aren’t just cheaper — they’re also smarter and more efficient. Today’s solar modules can generate more electricity in less space, using monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon cells, advanced MPPT inverters, and battery storage systems.
At ProLuxMax, we offer high-efficiency solar panels, cutting-edge solar inverters, and integrated solar battery systems — optimized for the unique climate conditions of Northern Cyprus, where the sun shines over 300 days per year. 🌞
🌍 Why Northern Cyprus is Ideal for Solar Power
Northern Cyprus is a hidden gem when it comes to renewable energy potential. With abundant sunshine and increasing energy needs, switching to solar power isn’t just smart — it’s essential.
