Abstract

Perovskite tandem solar cells have emerged as the most promising pathway to surpass fundamental single-junction efficiency limitations, achieving certified efficiencies exceeding 31 % through enhanced spectral utilization and voltage addition mechanisms. This comprehensive review examines the rapid evolution from proof-of-concept demonstrations to commercial readiness across all tandem architectures. We systematically analyze all-perovskite tandems utilizing wide-bandgap (1.6–1.8 eV) and narrow-bandgap (1.1–1.4 eV) subcells achieving 30.1 % efficiency, perovskite/silicon combinations reaching 31.25 % through industrial platform integration, and alternative configurations including perovskite/organic and perovskite/chalcogenide systems. Critical technical challenges including current matching optimization, Sn-Pb oxidation prevention, and manufacturing scalability are addressed through advanced materials engineering and processing innovations. Commercial deployment prospects reveal compelling advantages including 25–30 % higher efficiency enabling 15–20 % lower levelized energy costs.
