Today, offshore wind energy is a key sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. But have you ever wondered about the origins of the technology? Let’s travel back in time to explore the complex history of this renewable energy source, its technological evolution and its expansion around the world.

Wind turbines are huge windmill-like devices that can harness the power of the wind on a large scale, multiplying its force and converting it into electrical energy that can be transmitted to the grid and distributed to users. Installed at onshore or offshore wind farms, wind turbines are at the heart of wind energy generation: clean and renewable.
The first solar panel in history came into being at the end of the 19th century, but the use of the sun as an energy source dates back to the very origins of mankind. The history of photovoltaic technology has been shaped by various scientific advances that came one after another to obtain electricity from the sun. Find out about its origin, its evolution and why it’s one of the main sources of renewable energy.
