This chapter highlights key areas of innovation and progress in solar cell research.
The cost of Si-based solar cells has been reduced by a great extent in recent times. The learning curve of PV predicts a 20% dip in the price of the solar cell modules for every doubling of the cumulative shipped volume. It can be seen that high conversion efficiencies will be the central point for further reduction in solar electricity costs.
Durability and Longevity: Ensuring the long-term stability and durability of solar cells is crucial for maintaining high efficiency over their operational lifetimes . The efficiency drive in future solar cell technology is essential for accelerating the widespread adoption of solar energy as a primary source of electricity generation.
Another issue is the degradation and durability of organic solar cells, where strong encapsulation is required to retain the performance of organic solar cells. Grätzel et al. pioneered and first reported dye-sensitised solar cell research in 1991, and these cells are commonly referred to as Grätzel cells (O’Regan and Grätzel 1991).
Higher efficiency means that more electricity can be generated from the same amount of sunlight, leading to increased energy output and better utilization of available resources . Cost Reduction: As solar cell technologies improve and become more efficient, their manufacturing costs are expected to decrease.
Various novel device architectures and materials are being used to enhance the efficiency of organic solar cells. Employing quaternary active blends and the double cascading energy level alignment, a record efficiency of 18.07% in single-layered active material organic solar cells has been demonstrated recently (Zhang et al. 2021).

Photovoltaic Effect: An Introduction to Solar Cells
The solar cell is the basic building block of solar photovoltaics. When charged by the sun, this basic unit generates a dc photovoltage of 0.5 to 1.0V and, in short circuit, a photocurrent of some tens of mA/cm2. Since the voltage is too small for most applications, to produce a useful voltage, the cells are connected in series into modules, typically containing about 28 to 36 cells in …
