Abstract

The field of solar technology has experienced remarkable advancements, transforming from early photovoltaic discoveries to a diverse array of high-efficiency, cost-effective solutions. This review explores the evolution of solar technology, detailing its development from the initial discovery of the photovoltaic effect to contemporary innovations. The current generation of solar technologies, including silicon photovoltaic cells, thin-film solar cells, perovskite solar cells, bifacial panels, concentrated solar power, and building-integrated photovoltaics, is examined for their efficiencies, applications, and contributions to the renewable energy landscape. Future prospects highlight promising trends such as next-generation photovoltaics, advanced energy storage solutions, agrivoltaics, floating solar farms, and artificial photosynthesis. Despite the progress, challenges related to efficiency, stability, scalability, cost, grid integration, environmental impact, policy support, and public acceptance remain. Addressing these challenges through continued research, supportive policies, and collaborative efforts is crucial for realizing the full potential of solar technology. This review underscores the importance of solar energy in achieving a sustainable future and emphasizes the need for ongoing innovation and commitment to overcome existing barriers.
