The encountered challenges in photovoltaic applications and their manufacturing processes (e.g. matching photovoltaic systems to certain applications, area for installation, geographical issues, weather conditions, solar irradiation, high initial cost, and availability concerns) makes it imperative to discover effective solutions , .
Table 1. Temperature coefficients for various PV Technologies. 11. Applications The increasing efficiency, lowering cost and minimal pollution are the boons of the photovoltaic systems that have led to a wide range of their application.
Another test, called nominal cell temperature, is also used. The standard test conditions are 0.8 kW/m 2 of solar radiation, 20 °C of ambient temperature, and 1 m/s of wind speed . PV performance was affected significantly by environmental factors as solar irradiance, temperature, air mass, and wind velocity .
However, according to Nadia et al. , solar photovoltaic systems have considerable limitations, including high prices as compared to fossil fuel energy resources, low efficiency, and intermittent operation.
In Saudi Arabia, which is one of the desert areas, Nemo and Seid studied the efficiency of thermal panels and photovoltaic cells for more than 6 months. The results of the study declared a deterioration of up to 26% and 40% for thermal panels and photovoltaic cells, respectively.
Hence, the development of materials with superior properties, such as higher efficiency, lower cost, and improved durability, can significantly enhance the performance of solar panels and enable the creation of new, more efficient photovoltaic devices. This review discusses recent progress in the field of materials for solar photovoltaic devices.

Many acres of PV panels can provide utility-scale power—from tens of megawatts to more than a gigawatt of electricity. These large systems, using fixed or sun-tracking panels, feed power into municipal or regional grids. It is not always cost-effective, convenient, or even possible to extend power lines to locations where electricity is needed.

The redistribution of rainfall runoff by PV panels leads to a lower soil moisture content under the panels, and weak annual light conditions result in reduced plant biomass under the panels. Due to interspecies competition, dominant species have a significant competitive advantage, which leads to a decrease in plant diversity in the photovoltaic field to some extent ( Yue, 2022 ).
