Since most research laboratories can now produce perovskite solar cells with ∼24% PCE, there is no need to claim high efficiency every time one reports a perovskite solar cell performance. Unless it is a record efficiency, any other claim of high efficiency appears to be an unnecessary hype.
Perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) are an emerging solar energy generation technology that is nearing commercialization. Despite the unprecedented progress in increasing power conversion efficiency (PCE) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), up-scaling lab-made cells to solar modules remains a challenge.
Moreover, the tunable band-gap nature of perovskite materials is favorable to construct tandem solar cells in combination with silicon, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and organic solar cells, aiming at higher efficiencies of photovoltaic devices.
A comprehensive comparison exhibits that perovskite solar modules fabricated by the spin-coating method resulted in much lower PCE (≈6%) than small-size cells, which had a PCE of 8.6% and 15.4%, respectively.
Perovskite solar modules (PSMs) have demonstrated remarkable efficiencies exceeding 20%. However, scaling these devices to industrial sizes presents several critical challenges.
To commercialize perovskite solar technology, at least three key challenges need to be addressed: 1) reduce the cell to module efficiency losses while increasing the size of modules produced; 2) develop rapid and accurate module characterization methods for this technology; and 3) significantly increase the operational lifetime of modules.
