There is archaeological evidence that shows that the ancient Greeks were building their homes in grid patterns to utilize the heat and light of the sun in the fifth century BC.

In the 1760's Swiss naturalist Horace de Saussure built an insulated, black, glass-covered box. He then put it in the sun and watched the temperature of his "hot box" climb to 228°F.
