Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PeSCs) show high promise as a next-generation photovoltaic technology, with demonstrated efficiency competitive with market-leading crystalline Si PV cells. Challenges remain in translating lab-scale cells to large-area devices for cost-effective manufacturing. Key to this translation is the potential for low-cost industrial processes like spray coating, blade coating, and slot-die coating. Recent advances in large-area glass-based PeSCs show promising efficiencies, but challenges in production costs remain. Flexible PeSCs offer high volume manufacturing potential with high specific power for applications like vehicle-integrated PV. Innovations in R2R fabrication of PeSCs demonstrate record efficiency and hold promise for low-cost, scalable production.
