Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are in high demand as they are environmental friendly, sustainable, and renewable sources of energy. The PV solar cells have great potential to dominate the energy sector. Therefore, a continuous development is required to improve their efficiency.
This document provides the most comprehensive global overview of the development of the Photovoltaics sector, covering policies, drivers, technologies, statistics and industry analysis. · Global PV Installations: A record-breaking 456 GW of photovoltaic capacity was installed globally in 2023.
We also present the latest developments in photovoltaic cell manufacturing technology, using the fourth-generation graphene-based photovoltaic cells as an example.
PV technology development does not follow the well-know “generations” path. PV technology development is so far characterized by an evolutionary process. Wafer-silicon and thin-film technologies merge to yield the next step in PV. Photovoltaic solar energy (PV) is expected to play a key role in the future global sustainable energy system.
The evolution of the solar PV industry so far has been remarkable, with several milestones achieved in recent years in terms of installations (including off-grid), cost reductions and technological advancements, as well as establishment of key solar energy associations (Figure 5).
