Schematic diagram of a photovoltaic cell. Silicon is the most frequent material utilized in the manufacturing of solar cells. It has a bandgap of approximately 1.1 eV, meaning it can absorb photons with energy equal to or greater than this threshold.
The popularity of photovoltaics depends on three aspects—cost, raw material availability, and efficiency. Third-generation solar cells are the latest and most promising technology in photovoltaics. Research on these is still in progress.
