Abstract

Nano materials now have vast relevance and application in product design, such as power generation systems. This paper focuses on ongoing research involving Nickel Oxide deposition on glass substrate for power generation in solar cells. Various technologies are being explored using diverse nano materials that have the potential of solar irradiation absorption. Likewise, multiple technologies for impregnating the materials to Indium Titanium Oxide (ITO) substrate yield results even though not yet to optimal expectation currently. In this context, the discussion is mainly on the latest technologies, materials, and conditions that influence the choice and technological approach adopted, based on industry 4.0 imperatives. The research is informed by core drivers such as evolving technology, affordability and domestication of solar cells that meet evolving power generation changes, using miniaturized and optimized power systems. The study relied on big data for some design considerations, which is very much in line with optimization systems applied in industry 4.0. Various options of choice for fabrication, characterization, and analysis explored are discussed herein, and this is a starting point as it provides insight to academia for further exploration of the latent potentials.
