Nevertheless, the current operational lifespan of perovskite solar cells is approximately 2 years (Mansour Rezaei Fumani et al., 2020). This limited durability stands in contrast to established commercial technologies such as microcrystalline silicon (m-Si)
These solar cells have accomplished a record efficiency of 23.4 % on their own, making them a promising option for use in tandem solar cells with perovskite layers . CIGS-based solar cells feature a bandgap that can be modulated to as low as 1 eV and a high absorption coefficient, indicating that they are effective at absorbing sunlight.

The Erlangen-based group of researchers operated the module for a total of 1400 hours at a temperature of 65° Celsius under an artificial sun, without observing any corrosion or reduction in performance.
As a result, the lifespan of perovskite today is too short to be commercially competitive in solar panels.

Compared with the power conversion efficicency, the operational stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) remains a major challenge hampering its commercialization. However, conducting a light soaking test under 1 sun illumination to get a long lifetime is time-consuming and experimentally inefficient.
In comparison, perovskite single cells hold promise because of their efficiency reaching 23% and above and low manufacturing cost, which has been estimated to be able to reach the half of that of crystalline Si 2. However, the stability of perovskite solar cells is quite problematic.
To be competitive with the dominating c-Si PV (PCE of 21%), LCOE of perovskite PV has to hit 5.50 US cents kWh −1. Based on the LCOE calculation, we suggest that lifetime of 15 years is the threshold for perovskite PV (with a PCE of 19% and module size of at least 100 cm 2), which is a long way to go from current status.
