Perovskite is a relatively new material for solar power, with the first cells using this technology emerging in 2009. As such, it''s unclear whether perovskite solar cells will last for 25 years, the average lifespan of silicon panels. If not, they may not be a viable option for some use cases, as it would require relatively frequent purchases of new panels.
Transitioning 50% of global energy to solar power, facilitated by perovskite solar cells, could cut over 15 billion tonnes of CO2 worldwide. The inherent small size of perovskite cells contributes to material efficiency, potentially saving millions of tonnes of CO2 in the production process, making them a sustainable choice for a greener future.
