The European Becquerel Prize for Outstanding Merits in Photovoltaics (or in short the Becquerel Prize) is a prize to honour scientific, technical or managerial merits in the field of
photovoltaicsolar energy. It has been established in 1989 by the
European Commission at the occasion of the 150th anniversary of a groundbreaking experiment by
Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel, also known as Edmond Becquerel, in which he discovered the
photovoltaic effect. The prize is awarded to a single individual who is recognized for continuous achievements in the field of photovoltaic energy conversion. The prize is primarily a European award but not restricted exclusively to European citizens. The prize is granted by the European Commission. The Becquerel Prize Committee selects the individual to be honoured.[1]
