Perovskite rollout gathers pace

At The smarter E Europe exhibition in May 2025, perovskite-silicon tandem modules were on show for the first time at the booths of several large PV manufacturers. For the most part, these were prototypes not yet available for purchase. But the technology’s growing visibility at industry events in 2025 is a sign that perovskites have progressed beyond the small lab-made devices seen earlier this decade. The focus is now on developing materials, processes, and a supply chain ready for large-scale manufacturing and deployment.

After more than a decade of impressive lab results, perovskite solar cells and perovskite-silicon tandem devices have rapidly come to be seen by PV manufacturers as the most viable route to future increases in solar cell efficiency and performance. In 2025, many are moving toward pilot-scale production, and there is growing expectation that devices incorporating …
