The earliest wind power generation area
People used wind energy to propel boats along the Nile River as early as 5,000 BC. By 200 BC, simple wind-powered water pumps were used in China, and windmills with woven-reed blades were grinding grain in Persia and the Middle East. New ways to use wind energy eventually spread. . The first electricity-generating wind turbine was installed by the Austrian Josef Friedländer [wd] at the Vienna International Electrical Exhibition in 1883, [3][4][5] followed by wind generators, e., and helped Persians pump water and grind grain between 500 and 900 B.

The earliest solar water pump
The first solar pumps were built in 1913 by Philadelphia inventor Frank Shuman, who used abundant Egyptian sunshine to pump 6, 000 gallons of water from the Nile to irrigate a cotton field. But before then, many other scientists and inventors developed the building blocks for the solar technology we have today. Some of these include French scientist Edmond Becquerel who. . Solar-powered pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps.

Mouchot developed his first solar engine in 1866 and demonstrated the same in Paris World fair in which he used a number of truncated cone reflectors (450 cones) to focus solar radiation on a copper tube converting water into steam and then steam engine was used. . The first solar water pumping systems were relatively basic, primarily used in remote areas with no access to electricity.
