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.
In 2022, a perovskite cell was fabricated based on Cs 0.05 FA 0.95 PbI 3 composition (of 1 cm 2) by using vacuum evaporation and the efficiency obtained was 23.44% for 1 cm2 aperture area (Hoppe and Sariciftci, 2004). In Fig. 6a. the schematic structure of a typical Planar Perovskite Solar Cell is provided. Fig. 6.
The challenge in solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) and metamaterial (MM) solar cell systems lies in maintaining stability under high temperatures and intense light exposure, which are essential for practical operation. Efficiency can be hindered by Ohmic loss and material heating caused by strong currents in metallic nanostructures.
There are many efficient methods for controlling the operating temperature of solar cells which include both active and passive approaches. Active cooling relies on liquid or gas, along with fans and pumps, to dissipate extra heat.
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)).
Literature indicates that at a cell temperature of 36°C, efficiency somewhat increases by up to 12%. However, efficiency starts to decrease above this temperature, as Fig. 13a illustrates. There are many efficient methods for controlling the operating temperature of solar cells which include both active and passive approaches.
