Factors influencing the efficiency of photovoltaic system

The first solar cell converted less than 1% [16], [17] of incident light into electrical power and later it took more than a century for increasing the efficiency of a solar cell to 4% by using silicon, diodes, transistor. After recognizing the importance of this, researches were carried out to improve the efficiency by employing the proper material for manufacturing the solar cell.
