Today's solar cells are exceptionally in demand whilst excess exploitation of natural fossil fuels. In this context, the first and second generation solar cells commercially available in market for more than decades however limitations in production cost and large-scale applications insist to generate inexpensive materials for fabrication. Thereby, organic materials based solar cells explored and emerging as third generation solar cells which possess flexibility, low cost and large-scale applications. For example, organic photovoltaics, dye sensitized solar cells and perovskite (organic-inorganic) solar cells (PSCs) are considered third generation solar cells wherein PSCs reached the record power conversion efficiency (PCE similar to 23 %) and durability assists great advantages for commercialization in near future. Moreover, we reported various global renowned companies involved producing the modules and materials for three generation solar cells, hence, majority of companies considered commercialization of perovskite based solar cells assist low cost photovoltaics to meet the current energy necessities and environmental safety.
