Over time, various types of solar cells have been built, each with unique materials and mechanisms. Silicon is predominantly used in the production of monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar cells (Anon, 2023a). The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency.
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.
Some of the latest solar panel technology trends for 2024 include improvements in solar cell efficiency, advancements in storage technology, increased adoption of bifacial solar panels, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to streamline system management.
In addition, some companies are conducting extensive research into developing and commercializing new solar panel technologies. For example, Oxford PV is a UK-based company specializing in developing and commercializing thin-film perovskite solar cells. What are some of the new solar panel technology trends for 2024?
