What are third-generation photovoltaic cells?

Third-generation photovoltaic cells are solar cells that are potentially able to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of 31–41% power efficiency for single bandgap solar cells. This includes a range of alternatives to cells made of semiconducting p-n junctions ("first generation") and thin film cells ("second generation").

It is argued, therefore, that photovoltaics is likely to evolve, in its most mature form, to a ''third generation'' of high‐efficiency thin‐film technology. By high efficiency, what is meant is energy conversion values double or triple the 15–20% range presently targeted, closer to the thermodynamic limit of 93%.

Third generation photovoltaics: solar cells for 2020 and beyond

Many working in the field of photovoltaics believe that ''first generation'' silicon wafer-based solar cells sooner or later will be replaced by a ''second generation'' of lower cost thin-film technology, probably also involving a different semiconductor. Historically, CdS, a-Si, CuInSe 2, CdTe and, more recently, thin-film Si have been regarded as key thin-film candidates.
