Telkes is considered one of the founders of the solar thermal storage system, earning her the nickname "Queen of the Sun". She is a great inventor of practical thermal devices, including a miniature desalination unit for use on rescue boats, using solar and condensing energy to collect potable water. The ship again saved the lives of pilots and sailors who should have had no water when abandoned at sea. She moved to Texas in the 1970s and consulted with many start-up solar companies including Northrup Solar, which later became ARCO Solar, and eventually BP Solar.
