Abstract

The advancements in solar photovoltaic technology have played a crucial role in addressing the global demand for sustainable energy. This paper reviews the evolution of different types of solar cells, focusing on first-generation silicon-based cells, thin film and amorphous silicon technologies, dye-sensitized solar cells, and quantum dot solar cells. The study also explores the emerging trends in solar photovoltaic technology, highlighting their potential for improved efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental sustainability. Through a qualitative approach, this paper synthesizes existing literature, industry reports, and expert insights to analyze technological developments and future trends. Findings indicate that while advancements have led to higher efficiency and cost-effectiveness, challenges such as material stability, scalability, and environmental concerns persist. The study concludes that integrating nanotechnology and sustainable materials is a promising direction for future solar technologies, but further research is needed to enhance their real-world applicability.
