A comparative analysis is presented in Table 1 for almost all four generation solar PV technologies with respect to their methods of manufacturing, band gap associated with each, characteristics and the efficiencies attained by all the materials. Table 1. Generation-Wise Details of Solar Cell Materials. 6. Conclusion
The performance of solar cells is affected by a variety of optical and physical characteristics of solar-cell component layers and, in developing photovoltaic devices with high efficiencies, identification and the following improvement of the limiting factors are crucial.
The VOC of solar PV cells is generally determined by the difference in the quasi Fermi levels. In inorganic semiconducting materials, the electrons lose their potential energy and shift into a new energy level below conduction band when these electrons are photoexcited and move through a thermalization process.
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.
