The goal of this article is to gain a better understanding of the state of the art in photovoltaic solar energy through a systematic literature review that addresses the following topics: methods of obtaining energy, benefits and drawbacks, applications, current market, costs, and technologies, as well as what has been addressed in scientific researches published until 2016. We used a qualitative and quantitative method with a non-probabilistic sample size for this study, getting 142 articles with a slitting cut published between 1996 and 2016. According to the findings of this study, photovoltaic energy research is on the rise and may play a significant role in meeting global energy demand. To expand photovoltaic energy's involvement in the renewable energy market, it is necessary to first raise knowledge of its advantages; next increase research and development of new technologies; and last, adopt governmental policies and programs that promote solar energy production. Although crystal silicon solar cells were formerly the most common, new kinds of cells have since been created that may compete in terms of cost reduction and efficiency. Telecommunications, water pumping, public lighting, BIPV, agriculture, water heating, grain drying, water desalination, space vehicles, and satellites are the most common use.
