New materials, concepts, and approaches in solar cell development have become the center of research in this field. This paper introduces the review of various recent generation technologies of solar cells.
PV solar cells are categorized into four main generations depending on the actual materials involved in fabrication and their prospects for futuristic applications. Crystalline silicon (C-Si) solar cell is considered to be the first generation of solar cells.
There have been increased developments in solar energy technology in recent years. More viable commercial collar energy platforms are becoming available in more areas for a lower price than ever before. The solar power movement is still approaching maturity and promises exciting developments to come.
This classification may not be appropriate if the recent developments are considered. Wafer based solar cells are regarded as the first-generation and the thin-film solar cells as the second-generation.
Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are in high demand as they are environmental friendly, sustainable, and renewable sources of energy. The PV solar cells have great potential to dominate the energy sector. Therefore, a continuous development is required to improve their efficiency.
Second-generation (II GEN): In this generation the developments of first generation solar PV cell technologies along with the developments of “microcrystalline-silicon (µc-Si) and amorphous-silicon (a-Si) thin films solar cells, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride/cadmium sulfide (CdTe/CdS)” solar cells are covered. 3.
