The quest for sustainable and clean energy sources has propelled the development of various solar technologies to harness the abundant energy radiating from the sun. Among these technologies, Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems have emerged as promising solutions, each with its unique characteristics and applications.
From the perspective of investment of energy corporations, under the same installed capacity, the energy consumption of solar photovoltaic power generation was the highest, and the unit power generation reached 2.29 MJ, while the energy consumption of wind power generation was the smallest, which was 6.80 KJ.
However, solar cell technologies such as chalcogenide, organic, III-V or perovskite solar cells, all have their own niche markets or poten-tials. The aim of this work is to provide an overview and comparison of the different solar cell technologies for the application in integrated photovoltaics.
Table 1 shows a general overview of the different so-lar cell technologies. While technologies such as c-Si, chalcogenide and III-V are already well established and have demonstrated reliability in the field, newer technol-ogies such as perovskites and perovskite tandems are not yet in the market and long term experience is limited.
In many cases the cost of integrating the solar cells in a suitable module technology for the application is far more expensive such that a small difference in solar cell costs may not be as relevant as for PV power plants. Still it is a require-ment since a large cost difference may be a criterion for exclusion in certain applications.
