Abstract:

In the present era, While seeing the increasing demand for energy and depletion of resources from which we obtained energy, solar energy suggest as the best alternative energy resource. The light from the sun is not only a non-vanishing resource of energy but also it is an Eco- Friendly resource of energy(free from the environment pollution and noise). It can easily compensate for the energy requirements fulfilled by the other resources, which are depleting and environment challenges, such as Fossil Fuel and petroleum deposits.
Basically, we receive solar energy from the sun in the form of sunlight. This sunlight is converted into electric energy by the use of a solar cell, which uses the principle of Photovoltaic effect. The main two challenges in front of the development and implementation of solar cells are cost and efficiency. Discontinuous supply is also a problem while using solar energy. There are so many researches are going on continuous improvement of the functioning of a solar cell. Solar Cell efficiency, which was below 10% at the development of thin-film solar cells in the 1970s, now the most recent developments in new photovoltaic materials achieving greater than 24% efficiency (PCE). Unfortunately, the cost of electricity from current solar cells is about one order of magnitude higher than commercial prices. However, several of the recent developments hold a promising future for the field. We begin by looking at the development of solar cells in general and the new technologies available.
