Photovoltaics, which directly convert solar energy into electricity, offer a practical and sustainable solution to the challenge of meeting the increasing global energy demand.
When the sun shines on a solar panel, solar energy is absorbed by individual PV cells. These cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. The PV cells produce an electrical charge as they become energised by the sunlight. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity generated.
In-depth assessments of cutting-edge solar cell technologies, emerging materials, loss mechanisms, and performance enhancement techniques are presented in this article. The study covers silicon (Si) and group III–V materials, lead halide perovskites, sustainable chalcogenides, organic photovoltaics, and dye-sensitized solar cells.

These cells are more effective because they employ a variety of absorber materials with different bandgaps, allowing them to effectively absorb a wider range of sunlight wavelengths and so enhance both spectrum utilization and overall efficiency.
Today’s solar cells – which are typically silicon-based – can convert an average of around 22% of the sunshine they absorb into power. More efficient solar cells mean each solar panel can generate more electricity, saving on materials and the land needed. Manufacturing silicon solar cells is also an energy-intensive process.
This conversion process allows for optimal exploitation of solar radiation, leading to higher overall efficiency. Also, because heat is dissipated to a working fluid, the operating temperature of PV cells tends to decrease, which results in higher electrical performance.
Because the cost of photovoltaic systems is only partly determined by the cost of the solar cells, efficiency is a key driver to reduce the cost of solar energy. There are several materials systems being explored to achieve high efficiency at low cost.
The power conversion efficiency of a solar cell is a parameter that quantifies the proportion of incident power converted into electricity. The Shockley-Queisser (SQ) model sets an upper limit on the conversion efficiency for a single-gap cell.
