Abstract

The ever-increasing human need for energy and the increase in the world's population have caused significant demand increases. This has created a global movement toward new energy sources, especially green energies with minimal negative environmental effects, with solar energy on top. On the other hand, an important requirement in the growth and consolidation of the position of solar cells is the reduction of the production cost of these cells and the increase in the speed of their production on a large scale, which can be achieved by using printing methods. The global energy crisis and its significance are first discussed in this study, after which the solutions are briefly discussed. Additionally, the different types of solar cells and their most recent advancements have been reviewed, and different printing techniques that may be exploited in each form of solar cell have been explained. Finally, the market forecasts for solar cells have been studied.
