Abstract
This paper is an industrial update on the development of Photovoltaic (PV) Technology. It highlights the three major current types of PV: Crystalline, Thin Film and Nanotechnology. The aim of the development in PV technology is to improve the efficiency of the cells while reducing the production cost of the modules. This variety of PV technologies is still under development to enhance the deployment of solar energy for a greener environment. Space PV Cell technology was also described and the progress in this field is expanding.
