Historical Note

The Association for Applied Solar Energy (AFASE), an organization created by industrial, financial, and agricultural leaders from Arizona sponsored a two part meeting in Arizona to bring attention to the issues of solar energy. The first part of the meeting was the Conference on the Use of Solar Energy: the Scientific Basis, held at the University of Arizona in October of 1955. This was followed by the World Symposium on Applied Solar Energy, held in Phoenix in November of 1955. Scientists and engineers from 36 countries attended these meetings. Additionally the Solar Furnace Symposium of 1957 was held in Phoenix.
