Abstract
Perovskite solar cells have shown a strong increase in efficiency over the last 15 years. With a record power conversion efficiency on small area above 34%, perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells already exceed the efficiency limit of silicon solar cells and their efficiency is expected to increase further. While predicted to take large markets shares in a few years thanks to their high efficiency and low manufacturing cost potential, perovskite/silicon tandem devices are not yet sufficiently reliable, which brings into question the commercial viability of this new technology. This review provides an extensive summary of degradation mechanisms occurring in perovskite solar cells and modules. In particular, instabilities triggered by the presence and generation of mobile ions in the perovskite absorber and/or by extrinsic stress factors are discussed in detail. In addition, mitigation strategies developed so far to improve the reliability of the technology are also presented.
