“…However, challenges persist in terms of stability under harsh conditions and achieving higher efficiency. Organic solar cells (OSCs) utilize carbon-based materials in the active layer, providing flexibility and potential cost savings in manufacturing [39,40]. They are lightweight, adaptable, and suitable for unconventional form factors.…”

The production and consumption of energy must be converted to renewable alternatives in order to meet climate targets. During the past few decades, solar photovoltaic systems (PVs) have become increasingly popular as an alternative energy source. PVs generate electricity from sunlight, but their production has required governmental support through market interventions due to their lack of competitiveness on the energy market. Despite 40 years of attempts to establish PV technology through such interventions, the aim of this paper is to find out what general conclusions can be drawn regarding different technologies. Our study examines peer-reviewed studies from the start of PV technology up to 2023 to answer these questions. The literature indicates that not only developed countries but also developing and emerging nations possess significant potential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change by adopting renewable energy sources. Leading market players can offer support to these less developed countries by subsidizing both equipment and installation processes. As a result, this initiative can contribute to sustainable development on our planet.

“…The perovskite exhibits important and promising features, including an appropriate direct optical gap with strong absorbance, a suitable transport mechanism for charge holders, balanced ambipolar carrier transport, and easy fabrication on a flexible substrate, as well as a low carrier recombination rate and a long diffusion length [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Previous studies have extensively examined the design and performance of PSCs, especially their efficiency, material stability, cost, and commercialization [7][8][9][10][11]. The performance of PSCs has steadily risen; hence, solar cells' efficiency has improved from 3.9% to 25.2% in one decade [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Inverted solar cells have attracted significant attention because they have low hysteresis and are resistant to environmental variables, such as oxygen and humidity, making them more stable and long-lasting. Herein, we investigate the performance optimisation of an inverted design based on MAPbI3-xClx with the structure ITO/PTAA/MAPbI3-xClx/PC60BM/BCP/Ag by utilising SCAPS-1D, a simulation tool.Accordingly, a substantial improvement in efficiency can be achieved by optimising several factors linked to each layer's performance in a perovskite solar cell (PSC).Total defect density, work function, thickness, and electron affinity have a significant impact on the photovoltaic response. Specifically, the impact of optimisation of the charge transport layers and the perovskite layer on the device's performance parameters was discussed, resulting in a milestone within a remarkable increase in PCE of 21.59%, whereas the original structure's efficiency was 6.9 %.Additionally, it has been shown that aluminium can substitute silver in the top electrode of a solar cell without affecting its efficiency, allowing the development of cost-effective solar cells. The present study provides an insight in the creation of a highly stablelow-cost and higher-efficiency perovskite solar cell.
