Furthermore, Multiple researchers have conducted reviews on diverse cooling technologies that enhance the performance of solar cells. For instance, a review paper by Ghadikolaei provides an overview of various cooling technologies and their impact on the performance of commercially available photovoltaic (PV) cells (Anon (2002)).
Emerging solar cell technologies include novel methods, materials, and techniques in various phases of development, from early-stage research to near-commercialization. Their objective is to improve the efficiency, affordability, and adaptability of solar cells.
The next century saw the development of organic and hybrid solar cells, as well as the exploration of new materials and nanotechnology. A notable advancement in solar technology is the use of tandem or multi-junction solar cells, which combine several materials for increased efficiency.
However, this will reduce the efficiency as well. Using nanotechnology (Dubey et al., 2014), distributed bragg reflector (DBR) (Peters et al., 2012), and introducing grating structure (Trompoukis et al., 2012) can enhance the efficiency of the thin-film silicon solar cell.
The subject of the research was faulty semiconductor-to-metal contacts in the cells, where there was insufficient electrical contact formation between the metal and semiconductor. The team tested whether and to what extent the use of laser-assisted current treatment at the contact points improved the performance of the solar cell contacts.
Throughout the years, the evolution of solar cells has marked numerous significant milestones, reflecting an unwavering commitment to enhancing efficiency and affordability. It began in the early days with the introduction of crystalline silicon cells and progressed to thin-film technology.
