ABSTRACT: The dominating solar cell technology for PV power plants is the Si based solar cell. However, solar cell technologies such as chalcogenide, organic, III-V or perovskite solar cells, all have their own niche markets or poten-tials. The aim of this work is to provide an overview and comparison of the different solar cell technologies
A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics, such as current, voltage or resistance, vary when exposed to light.
The rising global demand for clean energy is the primary factor propelling the worldwide solar panel market, and new solar panel types are emerging as technology improves.

Solar cell A solar cell more conventionally is a PN junction, which works on the principle of Photovoltaic effect. When sunlight is incident on a Solar cell, it produces DC voltage.
There are basically three types of solar cells that are considered in this category, amorphous silicon (mentioned above), and two that are made from non-silicon materials namely cadmium telluride (CdTe), and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS). Together they accounted for around 16.8% of the panels sold in 2009.

Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic (PV) cells, are photoelectric devices that convert incident light energy to electric energy. These devices are the basic component of any photovoltaic system. In the article, we will discuss different types of solar cells and their efficiency.
Three common thin-film solar cells are cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and amorphous thin-film silicon (a-Si). Cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells use Cadmium telluride to absorb solar energy. They remain the most prominent thin-film cells because of a lower manufacturing cost and lower carbon footprint.
Presently, around 90% of the world’s photovoltaics are based on some variation of silicon, and around the same percentage of the domestic solar panel, systems use the crystalline silicon cells. Crystalline silicon cells also form the basis for mono and polycrystalline cells. The silicon that is in solar cells can take many different forms.
Half-cell (also known as cut-cell) solar panels use traditional-sized solar cells cut in half. This results in a pair of separate cells that are then wired together to form the solar panel, effectively creating two smaller cells out of a single, standard-sized solar cell.
