Abstract: | Urbanization and industrialization creates tremendous energy demand, while the depletion of fossil fuels on the one hand and environmental destruction on the other hand make it a hectic task to produce electricity. Solar energy sources are highly promising among renewable energy sources because of their sustainability, sprawl, sources of abundance, and easy conversion process. On the flip side, due to the uneven distribution of solar radiation and the low conversion efficiency of commercially available photovoltaic, solar energy production is less. Hence to meet this energy demand through solar photovoltaic, it requires more solar panels to be mounted all over the space. But the cost involved in producing renewable energy from solar photovoltaic is immense due to its high installation and processing fee. The solar photovoltaic panel consists of photovoltaic cells in arrays, inverter, MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker), controllers, and other interfacing modules. Among them, photovoltaic solar cells alone cost 70% of the overall cost. So, it is essential to manufacture low-cost and higher-efficiency modules to reduce solar power prices in the future. The solar PV module is categorized into various generations based on their base materials and their processing technologies. The first-generation technology of silicon and Gallium Arsenide inorganic wafers has an efficiency of about 26-29%. Inorganic thin films made up of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and Cadmium telluride (CdTe) have an efficiency of about 22% in the second generation solar cells. Despite high performance, the first and second-generation solar cells require high installation costs due to high-cost processing techniques. newline newline newline |
