Abstract: This paper discusses the different PV technologies in the market today in terms of their research and manufacturing status, as well as issues and advantages they are facing in their future. These technologies include crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium diselenide, and concentrators. Future generations of PV technologies—for example, the dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cell—are discussed in the context of the richness of photovoltaic technology for opportunities to convert sunlight into electricity.
