Abstract
Despite the fact that the electronics of the solar cell are progressing, the material and manufacturing aspects of the solar cells are seeing a significant increase. Maximum power point tracking methods based on artificial intelligence are the future of solar-based circuits. First- and second-generation solar cells are reviewed in this article by looking at the materials on which these technologies are built. Solar panel technologies are also examined from the manufacturing perspective. Furthermore, this article describes the efficiencies and limits of several newer solar cell technologies in the current and future. There has been much advancement in solar cell technology over the last several decades. Incredibly, they are more efficient than conventional solar cells. Moreover, this study analyses the performance and problems of various kinds and generations of solar cells.
