☀️ Monday Insight: Long before we talked about solar panels, the Romans were talking about Sol. Sol is the Latin word for the Sun and was also the name of the Roman god who personified it, the Roman counterpart of the Greek Helios. In later Roman history, the solar deity became especially prominent as Sol Invictus, or “The Unconquered Sun.”
That ancient name is still hiding in plain sight today: solar, solar energy, and even solar system all trace back to the Latin sol/solis.
More than 2,000 years later, we’re still finding new ways to harness the power of Sol. ☀️
