The increasing pollution every second due to extreme use of fossil fuels for energy generation is of high concern. It affects adversely the ecological cycles of biosphere. It is of much concern to look for new sources of sustainable and green energy. One of the countless stars in our universe i.e. Sun which has about 4.5-5.5 billion years remaining of its lifespan is a continual source of energy. It is an abundant source of non conventional energy. The solar energy is directly converted into electrical energy by photovoltaic systems. A review of solar photovoltaic technologies is presented in this paper including its various applications and future prospects. The various materials used for absorbing light in photovoltaic systems have also been discussed.
