Perovskite solar cells for transportation alliance for solar mobility (ASOM) white paper
article
Perovskite solar cells (PSC) are an emerging, and promising technology to achieve high efficiency, low cost, and even potentially printable PhotoVoltaic (PV) applications. Excellent single junction efficiencies of more than 26 % and multijunction efficiencies in combination with silicon of more than 33 % are achieved on a lab scale, leveling with, or even surpassing, the efficiencies of existing solar cell technologies. The economic viability of this technology has been well discussed based on rapid improvements in material composition, synthesis-fabrication methods, and the demonstrated efficiencies. Commercialization of PSCs seems feasible if the key challenges are addressed systematically. For example, challenges linked to stability posed by environmental factors like moisture, oxygen, temperature changes, and use of environmentally hazardous materials need to be addressed to deliver commercial solutions. Interestingly, if all goes well the higher efficiency, PSC-based photovoltaics technology will boost the uptake of photovoltaics in several industries including the mobility sector. In the mobility sector, rapid innovations are expected to achieve the ambitious carbon neutrality goals set in the EU Green Deal. However, Solar Mobility is still a new and developing value chain. This white paper summarizes the status, and challenges of PSC technology as well as highlights its significance to solar mobility. © 2024
