Perovskite Solar Cells for Very Large Arrays:
Space power at terrestrial costs
Goal: Enable large area (>100kW), flexible thin film
perovskite solar arrays on flexible substrates for
lunar surface habitats.
Strategy: Develop high efficiency, manufacturable,
and durable space qualified perovskite solar arrays.
Agency Need: Lunar surface power is unlike most
other space power: the need is for very large areas,
significantly reduced cost. These goals are more
readily met by perovskite thin films than by SOA.
