Abstract:

Solar energy, derived from the vast abundance of light emitted by the Sun, holds immense

potential as a clean and renewable source of electricity. This paper explores recent

developments in photovoltaic (PV) technology, focusing on the advancements made in

harnessing light to generate electricity. We delve into the principles underlying PV devices,

including the photovoltaic effect, bandgap engineering, and charge carrier dynamics. Through

an examination of cutting-edge materials and device architectures, we highlight novel strategies

employed to enhance light absorption, increase energy conversion efficiency, and improve the

stability of PV cells. Furthermore, we discuss emerging concepts such as perovskite solar cells,

multi-junction solar cells, and photonic crystal structures that show great promise for next-

generation PV technology. Additionally, we explore the integration of PV systems into various

applications, such as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and solar-powered vehicles. This

paper aims to provide an overview of the recent advancements in photovoltaic technology,

shedding light on the exciting prospects of utilizing light as a sustainable energy source.
