        abstract = {The transition to renewable energy is greatly aided by PSS (photovoltaic solar systems), whose efficiency is determined by a number of interrelated factors. In order to identify four main categories that affect performance—technological, environmental, design and installation, and operational factors—this study uses a systematic review utilising the PRISMA methodology. Conversion efficiency is significantly increased by technological advancements in materials like perovskites and new technologies like tandem and bifacial cells, which inspire hope in the industry. The performance of the system is also significantly impacted by environmental factors, such as temperature, pollutants, and solar radiation. Particularly when it comes to solar tracking systems, panel orientation, and electrical setup optimisation, the design and installation are crucial. For efficiency to be maintained over time, maintenance, material deterioration, and sophisticated monitoring systems are essential. 
By analysing 113 publications and focusing on three main areas—materials, sizing technology application, and optimization—from 2018 to 2025, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the field. The study also looks into new developments that could enhance the performance of photovoltaic modules (PM), like the creation of energy storage systems and the incorporation of smart grids. In order to fully realise the potential of PM systems, the findings highlight the significance of integrating technological innovation, design strategies, and efficient operational management. This establishes a solid foundation for further research and applications in large-scale, industrial, and residential settings.},
