Solar Photovoltaic technology deals with conversion of incident sunlight energy into electrical energy. Solar cells fabricated from Silicon aie the first generation solar cells. It was studied that more improvement is needed for large absorption of incident sunlight and increase in efficiency of solar cells.
Based on inorganic quantum dots, an efficiency of solar PV cells is about 7% which is reported by Segent’s research group .
The literature provides some examples to prove this fact in the field of nano photovoltaics i.e. quantum dot-based thin film solar PV cells, QDSSC (quantum dot-sensitized solar PV cells), hybrid bulk-heterojunction solar PV cells and CdSe nanoparticles based QDSSC having an efficiency of about 4.54% , , .
Furthermore, Multiple researchers have conducted reviews on diverse cooling technologies that enhance the performance of solar cells. For instance, a review paper by Ghadikolaei provides an overview of various cooling technologies and their impact on the performance of commercially available photovoltaic (PV) cells (Anon (2002)).
The photovoltaic effect is used by the photovoltaic cells (PV) to convert energy received from the solar radiation directly in to electrical energy .
Solar PV cell materials of different generations have been compared on the basis of their methods of manufacturing, characteristics, band gap and efficiency of photoelectric conversion.
Solar cells are devices for converting sunlight into electricity. Their primary element is often a semiconductor which absorbs light to produce carriers of electrical charge.
