Solar power generation in the Soviet Union

Solar power generation invented by the Soviet Union

As the U.S. and Soviet Union raced to launch satellites and spacecraft, solar energy offered an attractive way to generate power far from Earth. In 1958, the U.S. launched Vanguard 1, the first solar-powered satellite.

OverviewA historical perspectiveBy energy sectorStagnation of the USSR Energy IndustryPolicy Guiding IndustryUSSR Policy Guiding Russia

The energy policy of the Soviet Union was an important feature of the country''s planned economy from the time of Lenin (head of government until 1924) onward. The Soviet Union was virtually self-sufficient in energy; major development of the energy sector started with Stalin''s autarky policy of the 1920s. During the country''s 70 years of existence (1922–1991), it primarily secured economic growth based on large inputs of natural resources. But by the 1960s this method had become less efficient. In contrast to othe
