Whilst the photovoltaic performance and photophysical understanding of perovskite solar cells continues to develop,  attention is also being paid to the manufacturing processes that are required to scale these lab devices into modules for high volume sheet to sheet and roll to roll fabrication on low cost substrates such as glass and metal. 

This paper will introduce a series of technology developments that are required to enable the continuous and potentailly high volume manufacture of perovskite solar cells at commercial scale. This will include a layer by layer approach to coating deposition including the mechanisms and process parameters required to succesfully deposit the metal oxide, perovskite and hole transport layers via slot die, blade coating and screen printing. Furthermore, a reduction in the time required to dry and crystallize the perovskite layer to under 1 second will be demonstated using ultrafast near infra red and photonic heating techniques 

The paper will conclude by presenting an assessment of the range of potential fabrication routes, including deposition and heating, that can be employed to deliver perovskite modules.
