Description
Summary:With the fossil fuel supply rapidly decreasing over the years, renewable energy is gaining wide popularity as an alternative to meet the growing energy demand. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted on photovoltaics energy due to its availability and abundance. Although the conventional silicon solar cells are highly reliable and effective, it is expensive and the fabrication process is complicated. To address these root issues, perovskite solar cell has emerged as a promising candidate in recent times as it possesses a lower cost and simpler fabrication process than silicon solar cell. In this report, inorganic perovskite solar cell will be fabricated and the performance will be analyzed to assess its performance as solar cell.
