Abstract

The rapid advancement of photovoltaic (PV) technologies has transformed solar energy systems into intelligent, high-efficiency platforms. This review systematically examines next-generation PV materials, hybrid system architectures, and intelligent control strategies. Key technologies include perovskite-based tandem cells, N-type TOPCon, bifacial, heterojunction (HJT), and photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems. These innovations overcome the intrinsic limitations of conventional P-type silicon panels by reducing recombination losses, mitigating light- and temperature-induced degradation, and enhancing energy yield under real-world operating conditions. At the system level, AI-enabled inverters, adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT), predictive maintenance, and real-time grid interaction enable dynamic optimization under variable irradiance, thermal stress, and load fluctuations. A critical comparison across diverse deployment environments highlights current challenges, including manufacturing complexity, material stability, and AI dataquality limitations. Despite higher upfront costs and system complexity, these advanced PV systems offer superior long-term performance, improved reliability, and reduced levelized cost of electricity through lower degradation rates and enhanced operational resilience. Collectively, intelligent, material-optimized PV technologies represent a scalable, sustainable, and grid-compatible solution for solar energy deployment across diverse climates, supporting the global transition toward low-carbon energy infrastructures.
