Photovoltaic cells are slowly occupying the global market now a days as a form of renewable energy. For our future and sustainable energy development, solar cell has utmost importance. Various types of semiconductor materials are available which shows photovoltaic effect but very few have commercial interest. Different thin film technologies like Amorphous Silicone, CdTe technology, CIGS solar cell technologies are used for construction of photovoltaic cells. DSC, Organic PV, Quantum dots and Perovskite solar cells are next generation materials for thin film photovoltaic technology. Though the efficiencies of thin film solar cell is gradually increasing in last few years, there is still some challenges like insufficient efficiency, low stability, hazardous toxic materials forming during manufacturing, low availability, less cost effective. It will be certainly a major revolution for the current condition of the global energy demand, if these challenges can be overcome.
