Scheme illustrating the key role of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology carbon neutrality and the progress of power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells in 2021. Here, the certified PCE of three mainstream (silicon, perovskite and organic) solar cells in 2021 is highlighted. The global new installed solar PV capacity over the past 20 years has grown at a compound annual growth rate of ~40%, far outpacing other energy sources such as coal, oil, natural gas and wind. The strong momentum of the PV industry comes from its rapidly levelized cost of electricity due to the technological improvement and large-scale application. The Lower bid price for large-scale PV plants around the world has been reduced to 1.04 cents/kWh in 2021, and both the US and Chinese governments have announced in 2021 that the PV power generation will become the biggest power source in 20–30 years with a proportion of ~40% of the total power generation.[展开] ...
