The purpose of this study is to determine the basic device characteristics from the Current-Voltage curve of perovskite photovoltaic cells. Martin Green’s “Solar cell efficiency tables (Version 45)” highlighted the accomplishments in photovoltaic cell research for the year 2015. One notable achievement was done by KRICT using perovskites to achieve a 20.1% efficiency. According to Wall Street Journal article “Perovskite Offers Shot at Cheaper Solar Energy”, Ulicia Wang (2014) reports that perovskites have “achieved a jump in efficiency to 20% from around 10% just two years ago.”
