Still, some of the elements that in this paper were identified to generate bottlenecks, such as cobalt, gallium and indium, are considered critical in almost all of the analyzed reports, emphasizing their relevance in this and in other sectors of the economy .
The photovoltaic effect is used by the photovoltaic cells (PV) to convert energy received from the solar radiation directly in to electrical energy .
The VOC of solar PV cells is generally determined by the difference in the quasi Fermi levels. In inorganic semiconducting materials, the electrons lose their potential energy and shift into a new energy level below conduction band when these electrons are photoexcited and move through a thermalization process.
A comprehensive study has been presented in the paper, which includes solar PV generations, photon absorbing materials and characterization properties of solar PV cells. The first-generation solar cells are conventional and wafer-based including m-Si, p-Si.
The solar PV cells based on thin films are less expensive, thinner in size and flexible to particular extent in comparison to first generation solar PV cells. The light absorbing thickness that were 200–300 µm in first generation solar PV cells has found 10 µm in the second generation cells.
The different physical principles are associated with the operation of different solar PV cells. However, the all well performing solar PV cells possess similar I-V characteristics and can be compared or characterized with each other on behalf of four factors viz. VOC, ISC, FF and PCE. 5.
