    Materials Engineering in Photovoltaic cells In today’s world when we think about energy sources, there are 2 classifications they can be split into: renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. Fossil fuels are the backbone for most of the energy we use today. We need this fuel for almost all of our daily routine, from lighting a fire to running heavy machinery, but with increase in population there has been an increasing demand of such energy. Fuels like these tend to give massive amount of energy
