The sun can be used as a source of fuel for power plants. One scientist who has studied the sun‟s energy for 
years has developed a solar heater that will produce steam power at a reasonable cost. Such experimental 
power plants may lead the way to more extensive use of solar energy in operating machinery and producing 
light. 
Solar energy can also be used in telephone communication, in space travel and in farming. Solar cells have been 
used experimentally for a number years to power telephone lines, and they are now being used to recharge 
batteries which power space instruments. Solar pumps that can raise water for irrigation have also been 
developed, but they are seldom used because they are too expensive.
