In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted significant attention because of high power conversion efficiency, easy fabrication, low cost and flexibility. However, there are no standardized measurement protocols for PSCs. The Kanagawa Institute of Industrial Science and Technology (KISTEC) has studying about highly reproducible evaluation method of PSCs. At present evaluation of power generation performance was conducted mainly under STC conditions. Some PSCs have very large hysteresis, and there are cases in which the conventional I-V measurement method cannot be applied. In such cases, we have also studied the constant-voltage method and the Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method. From the studies at present, it is clear that the results vary greatly depending on measurement parameters for the PSCs. And the results were influenced by the pre-conditioning history, for example, setting at open-circuit condition or short-circuit condition before the measurement. Furthermore, the results vary depending on light irradiation time. In this report we present highly reproducible evaluation method adding studies concerning effects of irradiance intensity and temperature on power generation performance of PSCs.
