“…On the contrary, TGPV offer the advantages of the potential of very low capital and operation cost, ease of processing, the ability to scale up to large area fabrication and the use of flexible substrates. Moreover, TGPV are electrochemical devices that operate and depend on the interactions between stacked layers, and are divided into three subcategories, which are perovskite solar cells (PSC) [6], organic solar cells (OSC) [7], and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) [8]. DSSC (Grätzel cell) which was invented by O'Regan et al, [9] mainly consists of a bottom electrode, most commonly fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO), with a titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) electron transport layer (ETL), a dye-sensitizer, a liquid or a solid electrolyte (as a hole transport layer HTL), and a counter electrode (CE), deposited in that order.…”

The development of third-generation photovoltaic (TGPV) technologies promises to address some of the limitations of conventional silicon-based solar cells. However, the scalability of these technologies is a critical factor in their practical application. TGPV include Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC), Organic Solar Cells (OSC), and Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). This paper reviews and summarizes the recent trends and research on the deposition techniques and modularity of TGPV. Various deposition techniques such as slot-die coating, thermal evaporation, and spray pyrolysis are discussed, along with their advantages and limitations. Modularity, which allows for the integration of TGPV cells into different structures, is also examined as a critical factor in scalability. The paper concludes that the scalability of TGPV technologies depends on the development of efficient and cost-effective deposition techniques and modularity, which will facilitate the integration of the TGPV cells into various structures and enable the widespread use of these promising technologies.
