Original Note:
Australia did not invent solar panels. In 1839, French physicist Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The first successful solar panel was constructed by American inventor Charles Fritts in 1883. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200904/physicshistory.cfm https://www.smithsonianmag.com/sponsored/brief-history-solar-panels-180972006/ https://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/pdfs/solar_timeline.pdf https://clearloop.us/2022/02/17/a-history-of-solar
