In our module cost analysis, both Module A and Module B were estimated to produce perovskite solar modules at a cost in the range of 0.21–0.28 US$/W. We calculated the LCOE of a perovskite solar module by assuming a module cost of 0.25 US$/W and a lifetime of 15 years.
This rapid development provides a window of opportunity for perovskite technology to be commercialized, promising a cheaper alternative to the most widespread types of photovoltaics, (4−6) with lower production costs, material costs, and energy demands during manufacture.
We found that perovskite PVs (both single junction and multi-junction) are competitive in the context of LCOE if the module lifetime is comparable with that of c-silicon solar cells. This encourages further efforts to push perovskite tandem modules onto the market in the future.
With high material utilization, easy manufacturing processes, and high power conversion efficiencies >20%, many experts anticipate that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) will be one of the cheapest PV technologies in the future.
By carefully tuning the band gap of the perovskite absorber, the theoretical PCEs for perovskite/silicon solar cells and perovskite/perovskite solar cells are predicted to be 39% and 34%, respectively.
Although intensive investigations are being made on their technical feasibility, serious analysis on the cost of perovskite-based tandem modules is lacking. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar modules is often used to evaluate technoeconomic competitiveness.
