Technical Potential Evaluation of Inorganic Tin Perovskite Solar Cells

Lutfu Sagban Sua, Figen Balo

A component that contributes to high efficiency is the photovoltaic cell design. The perovskite photovoltaic cell is a shining star in the world of the solar panel industry. Since perovskite structure allows ions as a dopant, this path with a variety of metal cations can be pursued further. Although the subject of selecting renewable energy supplies has been explored in the literature, the challenge of selecting solar panels has only been studied in a handful of studies. The inorganic tin perovskite photovoltaic cells as the selection problem with multiple-criteria decision-making methodology have not been researched yet. In this study, the most effective solar cell among the latest inorganic tin perovskite solar cells is analyzed by AHP methodology.
