Description

There is an increasing need to replace existing first and second generation solar cell technologies with higher efficiency and lower cost options. This need has created a continuous demand to innovate for next-generation solar cell technologies based on better solar cell materials, concepts, and configurations.
The array of features and benefits that come with next-generation solar cells make them suitable for building-integrated applications and other niche applications such as printed electronics. This research is an attempt to identify, review and analyze various solar cell technologies that have future potential to replace incumbent technologies. The study also covers information about companies that have developed innovative solar cell technologies with the potential to disrupt the existing solar cell industry and how they are adapting to competition by mitigating key challenges.
