Tandem and perovskite solar cells enhance efficiency by capturing a broader light spectrum. Bifacial panels absorb sunlight from both sides, increasing energy output and optimizing land use.
Integration of IoT enables real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. Advanced inverters and tracking systems optimize performance. Emerging storage solutions like solid-state batteries address solar energy's intermittency challenges.
Floating photovoltaics (FPV) utilize water bodies for solar installations, conserving land and benefiting from natural cooling. Countries like India and Japan lead in deploying FPV systems.
Development of lightweight, flexible, and transparent solar panels facilitates integration into vehicles, buildings, and wearables, expanding solar energy applications beyond traditional installations.
