We can change sunlight directly to electricity using solar cells. Every day, light hits your roof's solar panels with photons (particles of sunlight). The solar panel converts those photons into electrons of direct current (DC) electricity. The electrons flow out of the solar panel and into an inverter and other electrical safety devices.
Visit the exhibit. The FDIC was created in 1933 in response to the thousands of bank failures that occurred in the 1920s and early 1930s. As the FDIC celebrates its 75th anniversary, we present a historical perspective on the rich history of protecting consumers.
In July 1934, the coverage increased to $5,000. The FDIC insurance covers the principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured bank's closing on all your bank deposits including: checking, savings, money markets, and CDs.
