In this podcast episode, we examine the potential and challenges of perovskite solar cells as a rival to dominant silicon-based solar technology. Initially hailed for their high efficiency and low-cost production potential, perovskite cells have faced significant hurdles, primarily concerning stability and lifespan compared to established silicon panels. The sources highlight ongoing research and breakthroughs aimed at addressing these issues through advanced materials, encapsulation, and tandem cell designs combining perovskite with silicon. Despite silicon's current market dominance due to its established infrastructure and proven durability, the versatility and recent progress in perovskite technology suggest a future where it will likely complement silicon, particularly in specialized applications and high-efficiency tandem configurations.
