A techno-economic perspective on rigid and flexible perovskite solar modules.

ABSTRACT: Perovskite solar cells have shown considerable developments in the last decade, and commercial applications are drawing closer. In this article, we present a techno-economic study of perovskite PV technologies. We compare published data on manufacturing costs of single-junction perovskite modules and find that they are dependent on the module design (rigid or flexible) and vary from 10 to almost 100 € per m². We calculate the LCOE as a function of module efficiency and stability for a set of four module cost scenarios at 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 € per m². The resulting LCOE varies from 4.3 to 25.5 ct kW^-1 h^-1 and shows low potential for immediate competition with crystalline silicon PV in the utility sector. Perovskite PV's competitive advantage lie
