Photovoltaic Review of all Generations: Environmental Impact and Its Market Potential

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the technology and innovation rising at its peak, the demand for energy has increased exponentially. To cater this, researchers are persistently exploring ways to fulfi l this defi cit between demand and supply. One of the feasible solutions is the use of energy from renewable resources such as Solar Energy due to its abundance availability and easy accessibility. Seeing it’s trans formative potential to address growing concerns about environment, pollution and sustainable energy integration,there is an intemperate research going on in developing highly effi cient Photovoltaic Cells (PVC). The PVC’s are eff ectuated to convert solar energy from the sunlight directly to electrical energy. Furthermore, the PVC has gone through various generations with the aim to optimise its cost/watt of delivered solar electricity and effi ciency of solar cell. This paper is an eff ort to compare all the generations which PVC has undergone and the recent advancements in this area. The results of this research study will be fruitful for researchers working in this direction.
