Perovskite, Organic, or Quantum Dot? The Trade-offs Shaping the Next Generation of Solar Cells
Three emerging solar technologies—perovskite, organic, and quantum dot cells—are competing to challenge silicon's dominance, each with distinct trade-offs in efficiency, stability, and cost. Ultimately, long-term stability and scalability, not just peak lab efficiency, will determine which technology achieves commercial viability.
