However, manufacturing cost, as one essential factor governing the success of PV techniques, has received limited attention. Recently, Cai et al. 24 analyzed two representative perovskite solar modules and calculated the corresponding levelized cost of electricity (LCOE).

We estimated the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) using a sensitivity analysis by varying the materials, module efficiency, and lifetime. We found that perovskite tandem PVs are potentially competitive, and further efforts are required to simultaneously improve the efficiency and lifetime of perovskite PVs to stand over the entire energy

Moreover, the use of a mid-energy gap perovskite (1.68 eV) in the Si/perovskite cell was expected to result in fewer ionic losses compared to the all-perovskite tandem, which consists of both a WBG (1.8 eV) perovskite that suffers more from halide segregation, and a LBG perovskite subcell that suffers from Sn oxidation (Sn 2+ to Sn 4+).
