Abstract
With increasing interest in investigating the stability of perovskite single-junction and perovskite/silicon tandem cells in outdoor environments, photoluminescence (PL) imaging, a valuable technique to analyze solar cell quality, could greatly benefit studies regarding the performance of these technologies in the field. This study presents outdoor PL images of perovskite-based solar cells, utilizing sunlight as the sole excitation source. Furthermore, it establishes the first proof of concept for quantitative outdoor implied open-circuit voltage () imaging. By introducing these novel methods, which rely on inexpensive equipment, this study paves the way for PL and imaging to become a widely adopted and insightful characterization tool for monitoring the field performance and stability of perovskite-based solar cells.
