The perovskite solar cells (PSCs)are considered as one of promising candidates for next generation solar cellsbecause the energy conversion efficiency is over 20%. Although PSCs is expected to be ultra-low cost devices due to utilization of cheap materials and simple fabrication process, the comprehensive manufacturing cost is still unclear. We designed two representative module structures for PSCs as low materials cost module and a high precision high efficiency module. The costs of the modules were estimated based on an annual capacity of 100 MW and the reported solar cell performances of the two kinds of cell structures. We found that the module costs for both structures could be much lower than those of other solar PV technologies. The results of the sensitivity analysis indicated that an increase of module efficiency could significantly reduce module cost. The fabrication of high-efficiency modules through the high precision processes was the most promising approach for further reducing the cost. The LCOE of perovskite solar cells was also very sensitive to module efficiency and can be expected to be lower than that of traditional energies if the module efficiency and lifetimes can exceed 12% and 15 years, respectively. To achieve these targets, more efforts should be made to improve the lifetime and efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic devices rather than to identify cheaper materials and processes.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
