The exponential increase in demand for global energy intake in day-to-day life directs us to look for a green and cost-effective energy generation and storage alternative. India being a fastly developing nation with a vast population, requires the alternative energy resource to meet up the energy deficit in an eco-friendly manner and be self-reliant in energy demands. This review aims to compile and assess developments in energy materials research from Indian prospects. Therefore, this paper discusses India’s energy scenario by understanding the fundamental concepts and developments of various solar cell technologies and an overview of energy storage systems (batteries and supercapacitors), accentuating the research progress made so far along with future possibilities. This exploratory study reviews the systematic and sequential advances in all three generations of the solar cell, i.e. Si solar cell, thin-film solar cell, dye-sensitized solar cell, and perovskite solar cells. Herein, the discussion is directed at developing novel materials that are efficient, stable, and economical. Moreover, the current status of the high-performance devices for each technology is reviewed in detail. Finally, the prospects, areas of improvement, and future trends in developing cost-effective and efficient energy materials for solar cells and storage devices are highlighted.

日常生活中对全球能源摄入的需求呈指数级增长，这促使我们寻找一种绿色且具有成本效益的能源生产和储存替代方案。印度是一个快速发展的国家，人口众多，需要替代能源以环保的方式弥补能源短缺，并在能源需求上自力更生。本综述旨在从印度的前景汇编和评估能源材料研究的发展。因此，本文通过了解各种太阳能电池技术的基本概念和发展以及储能系统（电池和超级电容器）的概述来讨论印度的能源情景，强调迄今为止取得的研究进展以及未来的可能性。这项探索性研究回顾了所有三代太阳能电池的系统性和连续性进展，即硅太阳能电池、薄膜太阳能电池、染料敏化太阳能电池和钙钛矿太阳能电池。在此，讨论旨在开发高效、稳定和经济的新型材料。此外，详细审查了每种技术的高性能设备的现状。最后，重点介绍了开发用于太阳能电池和存储设备的经济高效的能源材料的前景、改进领域和未来趋势。详细审查了每种技术的高性能设备的现状。最后，重点介绍了开发用于太阳能电池和存储设备的经济高效的能源材料的前景、改进领域和未来趋势。详细审查了每种技术的高性能设备的现状。最后，重点介绍了开发用于太阳能电池和存储设备的经济高效的能源材料的前景、改进领域和未来趋势。
