Proceedings of Online Meetup: Contemporary Stability Challenges in Hybrid Perovskite Photovoltaics (SCHP)
Publication date: 14th April 2020
As a first step from the lab to the field, operational stability is tested commonly at maximum-power point, constant temperature, and constant illumination. However, in the real world, these parameters vary dependent on weather and climate. Coming closer to application, the energy yield during the course of a year becomes the important figure of merit. In this short talk, I intend to give an overview of effects (day-night cycling, temperature variations, working voltage) to be considered when operating perovskite solar cells under realistic conditions.1 The aging behavior of classical nip devices during real-world temperature-illumination operation conditions serves as an example for examining irreversible and reversible degradation phenomena.2
