In the United States of America many people are totally excited about solar power especially considering the new technology advances due to presidential initiatives in alternative energies. The price of solar cells has come down drastically over the last decade by as much as 50 percent.

In the last few years solar power has become 65 percent more efficient and that means the return on investment for installing solar cells makes more sense than ever before. But as we watch our technological exploits in the present period one has to wonder if the idea of getting your power from the sun is something new?

Surely it is not, as all life on our little Planet is made possible in part because of the sun and many ancient civilizations such as the Incas and Aztecs were in fact sun worshipers. In Cuzco, the Secret Valley and Machu Picchu the Incas once ruled. There are still some families who care to bloodlines of the Incan legacy and perhaps we should have consulted them decades the prior as to just how much power the sun really has.

Perhaps we should have contacted some of the Aztec civilization academic researchers and asked them about the Aztecs Gods of pure energy of the Sun. It makes sense from an ancient historical perspective and considering the technological revolution and advances in solar technology to get more of our power from the sun. Consider this in 2006.
