Renewable electricity generation is expected to become a cornerstone of our future sustainable, climate-neutral energy system and could become the 'primary fuel of the future', serving most of our needs. In this sense, photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems have emerged as a promising driver of the energy transition, currently achieving impressive efficiencies, with records in the range of 20-30% for single-junction cells based on many different materials. Designs based on improved photonic and/or advanced concepts can help approach the efficiency limit by eliminating losses from incomplete absorption or nonradiative recombination, thereby playing a crucial role in the next generation of PV technology. The exciting research opportunities and challenges in photonic design and innovative advanced materials could accelerate the massive integration of photovoltaics.
