Mária Telkes was a pioneer in solar energy research, steadfast in her efforts despite facing opposition from male peers. Her tenacity paid off when she engineered the inaugural solar-heated residence in 1948 and secured ownership of over twenty patents. The graphic depicts a smiling woman with mid-length hair, and she is referred to as “The Sun Queen” suggesting her prominent role in solar energy innovation. Behind her is a geometric representation of a house and solar panels, along with technical schematics, alluding to her achievements in the field. The design conveys a vintage feel, with warm hues that reinforce her association with solar power and its possibilities.
