Abstract

Solar energy is the energy obtained by capturing heat and light from the Sun. The sun light required for photovoltaics is however not continuous and has daily and seasonal variations. To get continuous electricity supply there is a need for batteries to back up the energy when there is peak solar irradiation during the day time. The conventional lead acid and lithium-ion batteries are used for energy storage. Photovoltaics convert the light energy from the sun into directly usable electrical energy. The solar cells are the fastest growing alternative energy system in the past decade. There are a few critical technical and implementation issues preventing it from mass utilization. The increasing demand for renewable energy sources has driven extensive research into advanced solar technologies, with perovskite solar cells emerging as a promising candidate due to their high efficiency and low production costs. This study investigates the efficiency of a newly developed solar cell that incorporates perovskite materials. The perovskite materials which are solution-processed have accomplished amazing milestone in only a couple of years.
