The applications of nanoparticles and thin film technology in PV cell structures have successfully opened new research prospects to boost PV efficiency and overcome certain limitations with the use of CdSe, ZnCds, CdTe, a-Si/µc-Si, CIS, and CIGS.
Both the PV cell structure and conversion efficiency may significantly contribute to the progression of the PV system. Currently, a wide range of advanced materials and smart technologies are employed within the PV cell's architecture, improving its structure; i.e. PERC/PERL, IBC, HIT/HJT, and MWT.
Thin-film photovoltaic cells (such as dye-sensitized solar cells, colloidal nanocrystal solar cells, and organic solar cells) are considered very promising in solar energy advancements and renewable energy technologies. Now, they can be manufactured and assembled through cost-effective methods while using low-cost materials.
Research is also focused to maximise the service life of PV cells and minimise the degradation of their operating properties over time. The influence of shade and the increase in cell temperature on the operating properties should preferably be minimised.
An extremely important goal is to achieve the highest possible efficiency of PV cells, which is achieved by reducing cell losses (optical, electrical, degradation).
