In this work, Babics et al. report the outdoor performance of a perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell during a complete calendar year. The device retains 80% of its initial efficiency. Local environmental factors such as temperature, solar spectrum, and soiling strongly affect tandem solar cells'' performance.
To date, the longest reported annual degradation rate of small-area (1 cm 2, 21.4% initial PCE for encapsulated cell) perovskite/silicon tandems based on outdoor data is >17% relative. This large value underlines the urgency of improving the stability of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells rather than merely enhancing their PCEs .
Long-term stability concerns are a barrier for the market entry of perovskite solar cells. Here, we show that the technological advantages of flexible, lightweight perovskite solar cells, compared with silicon, allow for lowering the needed lifetime. The flexibility and lower weight especially allow for saving costs during the installation of residential PV. We analyze how

p id="p1">This chapter discusses the future of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) as a new generation of photovoltaic technologies to replace traditional silicon-based solar cells.
Their relatively lower efficiency rates, coupled with a susceptibility to degradation, underscore the need for continued research into novel organic photovoltaic materials and protective coatings that can extend their operational lifespan. Perovskite solar cells have emerged as a disruptive technology in the realm of solar energy.
Perovskite solar cells are the main option competing to replace c-Si solar cells as the most efficient and cheap material for solar panels in the future. Perovskites have the potential of producing thinner and lighter solar panels, operating at room temperature.
Tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells, in which the perovskite layer is tuned to absorb the higher-frequency end of the solar spectrum to complement absorption of the silicon cell, can surpass the power-conversion efficiency of the best single-junction silicon cells.
Moreover, the introduction of cluster forms of perovskites and the strategic use of lead acetate as a kinetic controller have further enhanced the film quality and, consequently, the overall performance of perovskite-based solar cells .
