The intention of the »Photovoltaics Report« is to provide up-to-date information on the PV market and on efficiencies of solar cells, modules and systems. Moreover, data on inverters, energy payback time and price developments are presented. The intention of the "Photovoltaics Report " is to provide up-to-date information.
Originally, the Solar Cells Reporting Summary was intended for editors and peer reviewers to ensure that manuscripts meet the assessment and reporting standards expected by the community. However, a few years later, we started publishing the document alongside the paper.
Photovoltaics is a fast growing market: The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of PV installations was about 26% between 2013 to 2023. The intention of the »Photovoltaics Report« is to provide up-to-date information on the PV market and on efficiencies of solar cells, modules and systems.
Its aim was to improve transparency and reproducibility in the field. The document is a checklist of key technical and procedural information about the characterization of photovoltaic devices — their area, the testing environment, and so on — that is filled in by authors of manuscripts reporting solar cell performance.
The first chapter includes a review of the history, the present status of photovoltaic materials. The second chapter contains the review of semiconductors and their properties, and gives a comparison among semiconductors and insulators in terms of their energy band structures.
A steady trend in technology improvements is observed, with crystalline solar PV being the dominant technology in the market. Increasing scales of production have also led to significant cost reductions in the per watt cost of solar modules.

Organic photovoltaics have attracted considerable interest in recent years as viable alternatives to conventional silicon-based solar cells. The present study addressed the increasing demand for alternative energy sources amid greenhouse gas emissions and rising traditional energy costs.
Conversations with experts in photovoltaics were crucial both to identify issues in the characterization and reporting of solar cells and to develop a solution to address it.
The results of this research point out that organic photovoltaic devices are formed by electrodes (anode, such as indium-tin oxide, silver nanowires, carbon nanotubes and graphene and cathode, such as calcium, barium, or aluminum), hole transport layers (PEDOT:PSS), and electrons (ZnO or the TiO 2), as well as by the active layer (donor, such as …
