Abstract
Various materials and technologies were developed such as use of single crystals, poly crystalline materials, thin film and nano particles deposition etc. To reduce the cost and spectral shift in the visible region methods of doping by nano particles of noble metal/ organometals this also enhances the conversion efficiency under different parametric variations. Different types of solar cells were developed in order to minimize the cost of dollars per watt and to maximize selectivity of the wavelength of solar spectrum in an effective manner. The objective of the present study is to review the progress in the solar cell technology along with problems associated with different solar cells utilized in the visible range of sunlight and the methods to optimize the efficiency and the cost.
