Chiefly because the performance of perovskite-based solar cells has been encouraging (to say the least). With an efficiency improvement from 3.8 percent to the current 21 percent in less than 5 years, it is\u00a0the fastest improving solar cell technology ever.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, a number of companies are looking at developing perovskite solar cells.
