An overview of different types of solar cells basedon the time of their emergence and their role in thestability of buildings

The growth of global energy consumption in the last century, and with it the increase ingreenhouse gas emissions, has been accompanied by more and more environmental pollutionand irreparable damage to vital resources. In order to reduce the global reliance on finitenatural resources and environmentally harmful fuels, many scientific efforts have been madeto reduce the cost of producing energy from renewable sources. For example, the attempt togenerate electrical energy using sunlight has been made using the inherent property ofsemiconductors. The first semiconductor-based solar cells with efficiencies of more than ۱۰%were built in the ۱۹۵۰s and ۱۹۶۰s. Currently, ۸۵ to ۹۰% of solar photovoltaic componentsworldwide are made on the basis of thin silicon crystal tablets. Today, the use ofsemiconductors has revolutionized the optical and electronics industries. In this article, wehave tried to introduce solar energy as one of the new and valuable energies and whileintroducing the photovoltaic phenomenon, the solar cell is introduced as a tool to benefit fromthis gift. Then, different types of solar cells have been briefly introduced based on the time oftheir creation.
