Project description DEENESFRITPL Perovskite solar cell and module for space applications Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite structures are promising light harvesters with interesting characteristics for application in emerging thin film photovoltaics (PV). Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) boast outstanding photoconversion efficiency and a high specific power-to-weight ratio. They are also low-cost in terms of manufacturing. However, their excellent radiation resistance that is making the biggest mark as an alternative for next-generation space PVs. In this context, the EU-funded P4SPACE project will develop and scale-up PSCs with high performance and durability in harsh space environments. The project will deliver sustainable PV technology for any present and future space environment application. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) as a well-known emerging thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technology are developing rapidly owing to their versatile optoelectronic properties. Outstanding photoconversion efficiency, high specific power (power to weight ratio), compatibility with flexible substrates and low-cost chemical-based manufacturing, and excellent radiation resistance of PSCs make them as a promising alternative for next-generation space PVs. However, compared with other practical space PVs, such as silicon and III-V multi-junction commercial cells, the research on PSCs for space environment is just in the infancy stage. The aim of P4SPACE project, is delivering of a sustainable PV technology for any present and future space environment application by developing and scale-up of the PSCs with high performance and durability in the harsh space environments.
