Advancements in Scaling Up Perovskite Solar Cells: From Small‐Area Devices to Large‐Scale Modules

Abstract The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has exceeded those of conventional thin‐film solar cell technologies, and the speed at which this increase has been achieved is unprecedented in the history of photovoltaics. Despite the significant progress achieved by PSCs at the laboratory level, their commercial prospects still face two significant challenges: scaling up in size and ensuring long‐term stability. Small‐area devices (~1 cm 2 ) are typically fabricated using spin‐coating. However, this approach may not be suitable for preparing the large‐area (>100 cm 2 ) substrates required for commercialization. Thus, new materials and methods must be developed to facilitate the coating of large‐area PSCs. This review will discuss the development of scaling up organic‐inorganic hybrid PSCs and the challenges of increasing the device area. Furthermore, it will provide an overview of the methodologies for achieving high‐efficiency perovskite solar modules.
