It has now been 175 years since 1839 when Alexandre Edmond Becquerel observes the photovoltaic (PV) effect via an electrode in a conductive solution exposed to light . It is instructive to look at the history of PV cells since that time because there are lessons to be learned that can provide guidance for the future development of PV cells.
1954 Photovoltaic technology is born in the United States when Daryl Chapin, Calvin Fuller, and Gerald Pearson develop the silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell at Bell Labs—the first solar cell capable of converting enough of the sun’s energy into power to run everyday electrical equipment.

The PV cell theory developed emphasized the importance of high purity single crystal semiconductors for high efficiency solar cells. This theoretical foundation will be reviewed in Chap. 4 in this book. These developments laid the foundations for the third phase of PV device development.
Nowadays, the production of solar cells has been improved since the first generation (thin-film solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and organic solar cells). In this work, the development of solar cells was discussed. The advantages, limitations, challenges, and future trends of these solar cells were also reported.
