Organic-inorganic perovskites have the strong potential to replace the mainstream silicon photovoltaic technology due to their extensive research. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells of just below 26% is advancing to that of silicon photovoltaics. The advancements make it a highly viable technology for broad applications especially building-integrated PVs and Tandems. Nevertheless, the efficiency of these cells is recorded on a small area. Scaling the small area cells into modules with minimal loss is a major challenge to be addressed. We will here, present our work on the optimization strategies of the semitransparent modules to achieve a power conversion efficiency slightly below 15% scaled from the semitransparent cell of 19.7%. The transparent electrode plays a major role in the performance of the semitransparent module. Our work addresses the challenges in reducing the loss in PCE between small area cells and modules.
