Flexible and stretchable solar cells have gained a growing attention in the last decade due to their ever-expanding range of applications from foldable electronics and robotics to wearables, transportation, and buildings.
In conclusion, novel materials, environmentally friendly manufacturing, and a raised awareness of the environment are all integral to the future of flexible perovskite solar cells, and all work together to create a cleaner and more responsible energy landscape. Researchers will keep pushing PSCs' flexibility and stability boundaries.
In addition to niche applications, the market growth of flexible a-Si-based solar cells will depend on the encapsulation material cost, warranty, and stability of the efficiency under different mechanical and environmental conditions. CIGS thin film solar cells provide the best efficiencies and mature technology for conventional applications.
The advent of flexible solar cell technology with an incorporation of triple junction modules began in 1997. This technique has been recently used for the synthesis of different types of eco-friendly material based solar cells using biodegradable material .
The first stretchable solar cells were reported in late 2011, coinciding with the advances in wearable and foldable electronics, which are potential applications. As a result, significant progress has been achieved in developing and manufacturing different kinds of flexible and stretchable solar cells.

The PCE was as low as 0.9% since the first appearance of all-PSCs in 1995. 47 All-PSCs developed slowly with PCEs of approximately 3% and received little attention before 2012 due to the lack of narrow band gap (NBG) P A s. Recently, the PCEs of all-PSCs have rapidly increased to 18.45% (Figure 1 A), 48 49, 50 which further reduced the efficiency gap …
Future progress is bright for a-Si, CIGS, and CdTe thin film-based solar cells on a wide range of flexible substrates. While III–V materials achieve the highest efficiencies over all other materials, their high cost inhibits their mass commercialization and limits their production to niche markets (space and defense).
Reducing solar radiation loss becomes the foremost concern to reach the requirement of efficient flexible solar cells [4, 5]. Whereas, the transparent dielectrics or metal oxide layer with a high refractive index produce an unfavored reflection. Researchers are searching for anti-reflection schemes to address this issue. Currently, the conventional quarter …
