Despite significant advancements in the field of perovskite solar cells – an innovative technology for photovoltaic systems that uses semiconducting material to convert light energy into electrical energy – tier one technologies continue to be the primary driver of growth and control the majority of the solar industry’s capitalization.

In fact, new technological innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain are utilized to improve renewable energy sources’ efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility. Blockchain companies are testing applications that include peer-to-peer (P2P) power trading platforms to assist small-scale power providers in selling surplus electricity to customers.
