Shuman built the world's first solar thermal power station in Maadi, Egypt (1912-1913). Shuman's plant used semi circle shaped troughs to power a 60-70 horsepower engine that pumped 6,000 gallons of water per minute from the Nile River to adjacent cotton fields. . Frank Shuman (/ ˈʃuːmən /; January 23, 1862 – April 28, 1918) was an American inventor, engineer and solar energy pioneer known for his work on solar engines, especially those that used solar energy to heat water that would produce steam. Shuman was born in 1862 in Brooklyn, New York. But before then, many other scientists and inventors developed the building blocks for the solar technology we have today. He was far ahead of his time – but he got caught by the First World War. On a scorching hot day in 1913. . The first recorded solar-powered pumping systems were developed in the 19th century, with the first active solar model invented by French scientist Auguste Mouchout in the 19th century.
