description Introduction: This review article was written during the second half of 2016 and the first of 2017 at the School of Environmental Engineering, Universidad Santo Tomás. Photovoltaic solar energy has acquired an important role in the global context due to the use of renewable sources and the reduction of environmental impacts, as well as for being an influential participant in meeting the current energy demand. However, it has limitations such as dependence on the availability of radiation and the use of silicon as a raw material for solar cells. Methodology: We prepared a state of the art of different databases searched, mostly Science Direct and Scopus, on the different alternative materials and current trends and their perspective of operation and implementation. Results: The solar cells that are using different materials are presented, among which the Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) solar cells stand out for their low cost and considerable efficiencies. Conclusion: Copper, indium, gallium, selenium/sulfur (cigs) cells are characterized mainly by their high adsorption coefficient; however, the great challenge to overcome is to implement them in an industrial environment. Organic solar cells are highly efficient and low-cost for their potential use in the Colombian context.

La energía solar fotovoltaica ha adquirido un importante papel en el contexto global por el uso de fuentes renovables y disminución de impactos ambientales, además de ser un participe influyente en la satisfacción de la demanda energética actual. No obstante, esta cuenta con limitaciones como la dependencia de la disponibilidad de radiación y el uso de silicio como materia prima de las células solares. Metodología: se realizó un estado del arte de diferentes bases de datos consultadas, en su mayoría Science Direct y Scopus, sobre los diferentes materiales alternativos y tendencias actuales, y su perspectiva de funcionamiento e implementación. Resultados: se exponen las células solares que están empleando diversos materiales, dentro de las cuales destacan las de Teluro de Cadmio (CdTe) que presentan características de bajo costo y considerables eficiencias. Conclusión: las células de cobre, indio, galio, selenio/azufre (cigs) presentan como característica principal el alto coeficiente de adsorción; no obstante, el gran reto por superar es llevar a cabo su implementación en un ámbito industrial. Las células solares orgánicas presentan una alta eficiencia y un bajo costo para su posible uso en el contexto colombiano.Introdução: o artigo de revisão foi desenvolvido durante o segundo semestre de 2016 e o primeiro de 2017 na Faculdade de Engenharia Ambiental da Universidade Santo Tomás.
