Abstract

Amid the shift away from fossil fuels, third-generation perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become pivotal due to their high efficiency and low production costs. This review concentrates on semi-transparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs), highlighting their power conversion efficiency (PCE) and average visible transmittance (AVT). We address strategies to optimize ST-PSC performance, tackling inherent challenges, such as optical losses from reflection, parasitic absorption, and thermalization loss, which impact the operational efficiency under variable environmental conditions. ST-PSCs are distinguished by their lightweight, flexible, and translucent properties, allowing for diverse applications in urban building integration, agricultural greenhouses, and wearable technology. These cells integrate seamlessly into various settings, enhancing energy harnessing without compromising on aesthetic or structural elements. However, the scalability of ST-PSCs involves challenges related to stability and efficiency in large-scale deployments. The tropical urban landscape of Singapore provides a unique case study for ST-PSC application, blending architectural aesthetics with high solar irradiance to optimize energy efficiency. While the potential for ST-PSCs to contribute to sustainable urban development is immense, significant technological hurdles must be overcome to realize their full potential. Continued advancements in material science and engineering are essential to address these challenges, ensuring the scalability and long-term deployment of ST-PSCs in global energy solutions.
