I generation solar PV cells The solar PV cells based on crystalline-silicon, both monocrystalline (m-crystalline) and polycrystalline (p-crystalline) come under the first generation solar PV cells. The name given to crystalline silicon based solar PV cells has been derived from the way that is used to manufacture them.
Highlights This paper reviews the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology. Performance of solar PV array is strongly dependent on operating conditions. Manufacturing cost of solar power is still high as compared to conventional power. Abstract
Based on inorganic quantum dots, an efficiency of solar PV cells is about 7% which is reported by Segent’s research group .
The solar PV cells based on thin films are less expensive, thinner in size and flexible to particular extent in comparison to first generation solar PV cells. The light absorbing thickness that were 200–300 µm in first generation solar PV cells has found 10 µm in the second generation cells.
The study includes four generations of the solar PV cells from their beginning of journey to the advancements in their performance till date. During past few decades, many new emerging materials came out as an effective source for the production of electrical energy to meet the future demands with cost effectiveness as well.
A comprehensive study has been presented in the paper, which includes solar PV generations, photon absorbing materials and characterization properties of solar PV cells. The first-generation solar cells are conventional and wafer-based including m-Si, p-Si.
