It is very important to obtain energy from renewable energy sources at this time when energy consumption is increasing rapidly and environmental pollution has reached significant dimensions. Solar energy is one of these sources. Recently used photovoltaic systems are very important in the supply of electrical energy. The low efficiency of photovoltaic panels used to generate electricity is one of the most important disadvantages of these systems. The efficiency of photovoltaic cells is greatly affected by both the materials used to convert the incoming solar energy into electrical energy and the surface pollution. The use of nanomaterials has recently increased considerably to increase efficiency. Studies are carried out on self-cleaning materials in order to reduce the reflection of incoming rays and to ensure that the energy is selectively absorbed by the surface and prevent surface pollution. Nanotechnology makes very important contributions to the design and production of thin-film PV cells. PV cells developed using nanomaterials will continue to reduce the cost of commercial solar cells using cheaper raw materials. Nanomaterials have some desirable properties such as high catalytic activity, better stability in aqueous media, relatively easier preparation techniques, and material economy. In this study, information is given about nanomaterials used in photovoltaic cells and efficiency-enhancing studies in PV technology.
