The solar cells are beneficial for standalone devices. These devices should be energetically self-sufficient. The grid-electricity is always not available and sometimes these devices have to work in inaccessible conditions. The task-based application always requires some reserved power for safety and long-lasting.
This book highlights developments in the field of solar cells. The chapters in this book address a wide range of topics including the spectrum of light received by solar cell devices, the basic functioning of a solar cell, and the evolution of solar cell technology during the last 50 years.

In this chapter, the three generations of solar cells have been thoroughly discussed. Their application in the various sectors such as power generation, portable electronic devices, defense, space, transportation, agriculture, etc. has been shown. The growth in the efficiency of the cells has brought technology to the commercial level.
Compared with inorganic solar cells, the bandgap tunability of organic semiconductors provides great superiority for the application of indoor OSCs. However, indoor OSCs are still in their infancy and the development greatly lags behind the outdoor counterparts with regard to the design of molecule and device structure.
A large range of different applications can be solar powered such as music players, fans, portable lamps, security lights, solar lighting kits, solar lanterns and street light (see below), phone chargers, radios, or even small, seven-inch LCD televisions, that run on less than ten watts.

Photovoltaic arrays are often associated with buildings: either integrated into them, mounted on them or mounted nearby on the ground. Rooftop PV systems are most often retrofitted into existing buildings, usually mounted on top of the existing roof structure or on the existing walls. Alternatively, an array can be located separately from the building but connected by cable to supply power f…
