In-depth assessments of cutting-edge solar cell technologies, emerging materials, loss mechanisms, and performance enhancement techniques are presented in this article. The study covers silicon (Si) group III–V lead halide perovskites, sustainable chalcogenides, organic photovoltaics, dye-sensitized cells. In regard, promising architectural advancements with graphene metamaterials highlighted. also encompasses various types losses, including intrinsic extrinsic losses single-junction Additionally, it evaluates efficiency improvement such as light management spectral utilization. While the Si-based cells has plateaued around 25%, compound semiconductor-based multi-junction is increasing. However, high material cost semiconductors a drawback. Furthermore, CIGS CdTe technologies compete crystalline cells, owing to recent advances performance, however environmental concerns cells' low open-circuit voltage remain challenges. On other hand, Perovskite extremely efficient both single multijunction arrangements. Device deterioration, hysteresis, film quality among issues that must be addressed when industrialising perovskite
