Rahane Sanket Daulat, Rahul Bibave, D. B. Pardeshi

Abstract


The quest for sustainable energy solutions has intensified the research focus on solar photovoltaic technologies. Central to this pursuit is the enhancement of semiconductor materials used in solar panels. This research paper delves into cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication techniques designed to optimize solar panel efficiency, durability, and cost- effectiveness. The abstract outlines a comprehensive review of innovative methods such as thin-film deposition, nano structuring, and heterojunction engineering. Additionally, the paper explores the integration of emerging materials, including perovskites and organic polymers, highlighting their potential to revolutionize solar cell fabrication. The study discusses the influence of these advancements on key parameters such as energy conversion efficiency, stability, and scalability. By critically evaluating recent developments, this paper provides valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and policymakers striving to accelerate the adoption of solar energy in the global energy landscape.
