I have yet to read how the beepers, radios and solar panels were made operational. Were the explosives inserted into the devices or has Mossad found a way to detonate these common devices.

I have a friend who is an expert in this kind of thing. There's no way to make the average device (pager, walkie, phone, etc) just explode on its own.
Someone would have had to intercept the shipments of these things and introduce something like C4 into them. It wouldn't take much.
Not sure if the battery is used as the detonator or if you have to put that in, too.
Then the detonator is tied to receiving a certain signal that tells it to explode.
The important thing here is that no, you cannot make an ordinary phone/etc. just explode as it is simply by sending it a signal. Lithium batteries can sometimes ignite and burn extremely hot, but they do not go BOOM on their own.
Those devices were tampered with and rigged to explode.
Read that the pager itself has three of the five components needed to make a bomb…the two things missing are the explosive and detonator.
