To commercialize perovskite solar technology, at least three key challenges need to be addressed: 1) reduce the cell to module efficiency losses while increasing the size of modules produced; 2) develop rapid and accurate module characterization methods for this technology; and 3) significantly increase the operational lifetime of modules.
In today''s energy context, the upscaling of solar cells is particularly important.

Realizing industrial-scale, large-area photovoltaic modules without any considerable performance losses compared with the performance of laboratory-scale, small-area perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been a challenge for practical applications of PSCs.
The road for mass-production of perovskite solar panels. Perovskite is a fairly new and growing solar cell technology with its first reported application in 2009, a little more than a decade ago. Crystalline silicon was first discovered in 1916, with its first solar application dating back to 1950, more than 70 years ago.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown promising progress in efficiency and stability, but their application needs further development from small-area cells to large-area modules. When fabricating solar cell modules on large-area substrates, it takes a longer time to deposit and process the thin film than for small area devices.
Perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) are an emerging solar energy generation technology that is nearing commercialization. Despite the unprecedented progress in increasing power conversion efficiency (PCE) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), up-scaling lab-made cells to solar modules remains a challenge.
However, the efficiency of PSCs drops from laboratory-scale to large-scale perovskite solar modules (PSMs) because of the poor quality of perovskite films, and the increased resistance of large-area PSMs obstructs practical PSC applications.
One of the largest perovskite solar modules with an effective area of 1241 cm 2 has been introduced by Suzhou GCL Nano Technology Co., Ltd., but it just barely touches the bottom of the small-module size in general. Challenge- (2) is the difficulty of measuring the performance and efficiency of a perovskite module.
If the perovskite layer quality is well reserved, a >24% mini-module efficiency is projected by only considering the losses from lateral resistivity and laser scribing area. Next, performance characteristics are explored including hysteresis and meta-stable power outputs that must be overcome to correctly characterize perovskite modules.
The 5 × 5 and 10 × 10 cm 2 perovskite solar modules (PSMs) based on this method achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.55% and 10.25%, respectively.
