Are flexible photovoltaics (PVs) beyond Silicon possible?

Recent advancements for flexible photovoltaics (PVs) beyond silicon are discussed. Flexible PV technologies (materials to module fabrication) are reviewed. The study approaches the technology pathways to flexible PVs beyond Si. For the previous few decades, the photovoltaic (PV) market was dominated by silicon-based solar cells.

Which photovoltaic material is scalable?

The only commercial photovoltaic material that is scalable to this level is silicon, which for one TW electricity generation capacity would require around 80 d of our current silicon production. [ 50]

What is photovoltaic silicon?

Abstract Photovoltaic silicon converts sunlight in 95% of the operational commercial solar cells and has the potential to become a leading material in harvesting energy from renewable sources, but ...

What are photovoltaic materials?

Photovoltaic materials are traditionally defined by their unique ability to convert solar radiation into electricity.

Can novel materials be used in photovoltaic systems?

The implementation of the novel materials into photovoltaic systems depends on their conversion efficiency limited by the material's inherent properties, longevity dependent on internal stability, and ease of manufacturing process.

Where can photovoltaic materials be used?

However, emerging photovoltaic materials become preferable materials in net-zero energy buildings, transportation vehicles, agri-lands, specialized habitats or entire human habitation systems.
