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.
Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, are electronic components or devices that convert light energy from the sun into electrical energy (electricity) . Edmond Becquerel is considered the first person to discover PV power in 1839 .
In this review, we present a comparative assessment of the following photovoltaic technologies: dye-sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and organic solar cells.
There are four phases of photovoltaic technological evolution known today; the first generation of solar cells are fabricated based on crystalline silicon which have dominated the photovoltaic (PV) market for the past half a century.
Third-generation photovoltaic technologies such as dye-sensitized solar cells, organic solar cells, and perovskite solar cells have emerged in recent years and have shown potential for large-scale commercialization.
