Optimizing solar panel efficiency: A comparative study of novel photovoltaic materials and natural energy

Abstract

Solar energy holds immense potential as a sustainable and renewable energy source, yet optimizing the efficiency of solar panels remains a critical challenge. This comparative study explores the efficacy of novel photovoltaic materials in enhancing solar panel performance. The research investigates a range of emerging materials, including perovskite, organic, and quantum dot- based solar cells, alongside traditional silicon-based cells. The study employs a comprehensive comparative analysis framework to evaluate the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, stability, and scalability of these materials. Experimental data, theoretical modeling, and simulation techniques are integrated to provide a holistic understanding of each material's performance under varying conditions. Key parameters such as power conversion efficiency, spectral response, and environmental stability are thoroughly examined to assess the suitability of each material for practical solar energy applications. Furthermore, the study investigates manufacturing processes, material availability, and environmental impacts to provide insights into the feasibility of large-scale adoption.
