Abstract: Molecular photovoltaics has emerged as credible contenders to conventional p-n junction photovoltaics. By now, large-scale DSC production and commercial sales have been launched on the multi-megawatt scale for application in building integrated PV and light-weight flexible power sources. Certified power conversion efficiencies currently attain 23.3 %, exceeding already the performance of polycrystalline silicon solar cells. These photovoltaics show intense electroluminesence and high photovoltages rendering them perovskite-based photosystem very attractive for applications in tandem cells and for the generation of fuels from sunlight. Recent progress in attaining long term operational stability with PSCs based on inorganic hole conductors will be discussed.
