Organic–inorganic third-generation perovskite solar cells (PSC) are a promising alternative to current conventional photovoltaic technologies and a competitive option among other third-generation solar cells such as organic (OPV) and dye-sensitized (DSSC).
To that end, some companies like Greatcell solar cell of Australia, Swift Solar, Saule Technologies of America, Skanska of Japan, Huis Ten Bosch Co and Oxford PV have taken giant steps to commercialize perovskite solar cells. Some of them have produced and installed a commercial prototype.
Third-generation photovoltaic cells are solar cells that are potentially able to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of 31–41% power efficiency for single bandgap solar cells. This includes a range of alternatives to cells made of semiconducting p-n junctions ("first generation") and thin film cells ("second generation").
In overall, perovskite solar cells propose a positive solution for establishing the low cost PV technology that could become the turning point of solar industry. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
Perovskite-based solar cells (PSC) is the fastest growing solar technology to date since inception in 2009. This technology has revolutionized the photovoltaic (PV) community. While it has taken 15–42 years for traditional PV technologies to achieve maturity, PSC technology has accomplished the same within 10 years.
A brief discussion of perovskite-silicon tandem and 2D/3D multidimensional solar cells is also included in the review. The emergence of environment-friendly, economically feasible, and efficient solar cell materials turns out to be milestones in the path toward the commercialization of perovskite solar energy harvesters.
