Abstract

The monumental rise of perovskite solar cell as an alternative PV technology has empowered tandem solar cell as a promising low cost technology route with more competent levelized cost of energy (LCOE) production. The integration of perovskite solar cells in tandem (multi-junction) devices has the possibility of getting efficiencies beyond the single junction device. The forgiving nature of crystalline perovskite film eases the production of high quality perovskite films through low-cost production methods. In-addition, the rapid development in efficiency of these solar cells was achieved through their band gap tuning, long-range charge transport, superb light absorption. In the following chapter we discuss the opportunities for incorporation of perovskite in tandem device, which can be implemented either by coupling with existing technologies such as silicon or CIGS or having all-perovskite tandem device. Given the huge development, perovskite tandem device has been considered as the fastest route for emergence of commercialized perovskite based solar modules.
