Nobody calls coal "solar power." While the Chinese were using coal during the Song Dynasty to work iron, for example, England was where coal use really took off, thanks to the steam engine.
Newcomen's Steam Engine was, according to Crosby, "The first machine to provide significantly large amounts of power not derived from muscle, water, or wind."
Coal powered industrialization was a pretty big deal. It allowed Britain to dominate the textile industry, and industrially produced weapons, and steam powered ships enabled Europeans to penetrate and dominate Africa, and parts of Asia.
