What are perovskite solar cells?

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs), recognized as a promising third-generation thin-film photovoltaic technology, offer notable advantages including low-cost production, high power conversion efficiency, and tunable bandgap characteristics. Despite these advancements, scaling up PSCs to large-area perovskite sola

Could perovskite PV modules meet Seto's levelized cost of electricity goals?

Making the processes scalable and reproducible could allow perovskite PV modules to meet or exceed SETO’s levelized cost of electricity goals for PV. Perovskite solar cells are thin-film devices built with layers of materials, either printed or coated from liquid inks or vacuum-based deposition processed.

Are perovskite solar cells suitable for multijunction tandem solar cells?

However, p - i - n perovskite solar cells are particularly notable for their higher operational stability and successful integration into multijunction tandem solar cells with other established (e.g., silicon, such as Figure 1 c) and with perovskite itself (i.e., perovskite–perovskite tandems [Figure 1 d]).

How efficient are small-area perovskite solar cells?

Certified small-area perovskite solar cell efficiencies have reached 26.7%, rivaling those of silicon solar cells. To facilitate commercialization, developing stable and efficient large-scale perovskite solar modules remains a crucial challenge.
