Who designed the solar power system

Solar power was first discovered by French physicist Edmond Becquerel in 1839 at the young age of 19. At the time, Becquerel was experimenting in his father's lab when he observed the photovoltaic effect, a process that generates electricity when exposed to sunlight. . Before the first modern solar panels were invented by Bell Laboratories in 1954, the history of solar energy was one of fits and starts, driven by individual inventors and scientists. [PDF]
