Photovoltaic solar energy: Conceptual framework
The photovoltaic solar energy (PV) is one of the most growing industries all over the world, and in order to keep that pace, new developments has been rising when it comes to material use, energy consumption to manufacture these materials, device design, production technologies, as well as new concepts to enhance the global efficiency of the cells [7], [8], [9].
Technology Roadmap
Solar energy is widely available throughout the world and can contribute to reduced dependence on energy imports. As it entails no fuel price risk or constraints, it also improves security of supply. Solar power enhances energy diversity and hedges against price volatility of fossil fuels, thus stabilising costs of electricity generation in the long term.

Integrated Photovoltaics
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) data and statistics show that, Cumulative global installed capacity of solar PV has risen from 0.8 GW in 2000 to 222 GW at the end of 2015. Annual new solar PV capacity additions reached a new record of 47 GW in 2015. The rapid growth of PV installation worldwide since 2000 has been remarkable.
Solar Photovoltaics
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems use ultra-violet light from the sun to generate electricity. When installed on or near a building they can be used to run appliances or stored in a battery for later use, for lighting or to charge an
Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics
Falling prices of photovoltaic (PV) technology make niche applications such as vehicle-integrated PV (VIPV) possible. Although not a new idea, recent efficiency gains in the complete supply chain of PV technologies make the pursuit of VIPV feasible. However, significant technical challenges still need to be solved before VIPV goes mainstream.
