Disadvantages of the third generation solar 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").

Integration of buildings with third-generation photovoltaic solar cells

1 Third-generation solar cells. In third-generation PVs, costs were decreased to <$.50/W, and even to $.20/W, which is significant compared to those of the second generation. What is more, this economic benefit came with increasing efficiencies and environmental advantages of thin-film deposition techniques .

A review on the current status of dye‐sensitized solar cells:

Materials chosen for the third-generation solar cells should have pin-hole-free dense morphology to leakage current from films and pin holes. 128 Moreover, they should not chemically react with nearby light-absorbing layers and cathode electrodes. Besides, it should have lower LUMO relative to the dye for the enhanced electron-accepting property. 2.3.1
