Increasing Efficiency of Solar Panels via Photovoltaic Materials

Abstract

To adequately use the existed resources and to find optimize and sustainable solution to the current resources is one of the most preponderant Sustainable Energy goal. The solar energy industry is one of the fastest-growing forces in the recent market due to the increase in demand for clean energy. Nowadays several materials are being used in solar technology. Photovoltaic Materials are responsible for converting a photon into electrical energy and are the basis of solar technology. Photovoltaic materials are different in terms of their availability, composition, efficiency, operation, and application. This paper will not only provide us with the comparison between Thin Film Solar Cells (Cadmium telluride), Perovskite Solar cells and Dye-Sensitized Solar cells, but also will help us to identify the appropriate photovoltaic material based solar cells based on applications, efficiency, cost, liability and stability for solar panels.

Analyzing Global Evolution of Materials Research Funding and Its Influence on Innovation Landscape: A Case Study of U.S. Investment Strategies

“…Researchers funded by U.S. agencies conducted extensive research to enhance perovskite solar cells' efficiency, stability, and scalability. The result was a breakthrough in energy conversion efficiency, with perovskite solar cells reaching levels comparable to traditional silicon cells (Younas, Khan, Zaidi, & Khalid, 2022).  Flexible and Lightweight Photovoltaics: Funding enabled the development of flexible and lightweight photovoltaic materials.…”
