Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes can interfere with the grid's power supply. Thankfully, in times of emergency, solar panels offer a strong substitute for conventional electricity. When other energy sources, like fossil fuels, are unavailable, solar panels will still receive the required sunlight to generate energy.
Systems using solar photovoltaic energy are also getting cheaper and more effective. The cost of solar panels has dropped significantly in recent years, and the efficiency of solar cells has also grown 2. Now, solar photovoltaic systems can generate more power for a lower cost.
Photovoltaic research is more than just making a high-efficiency, low-cost solar cell. Homeowners and businesses must be confident that the solar panels they install will not degrade in performance and will continue to reliably generate electricity for many years.
It is, hence, erratic and unreliable 7. Additionally, the photovoltaic system's conversion rate or efficiency is low when compared to other power-generating systems. A significant number of solar panels must be erected because a single solar panel's efficiency is low, and adding more solar panels would increase the required land area.
However, despite their aesthetic and functional advantages, solar shingles face several challenges that hinder their widespread adoption. One of the main limitations is their relatively high upfront cost compared to conventional solar panels, primarily due to the complexity of manufacturing and installation.
Solar cell researchers at NREL and elsewhere are also pursuing many new photovoltaic technologies—such as solar cells made from organic materials, quantum dots, and hybrid organic-inorganic materials (also known as perovskites). These next-generation technologies may offer lower costs, greater ease of manufacture, or other benefits.
