Researchers from multiple German and Italian institutions studied the potential of halide perovskite photovoltaics on the Moon. They proposed fabricating these PVs on regolith-based moonglass made locally, reducing transport weight by 99%. The approach achieved specific power ratios between 22 and 50 W/g, significantly higher than traditional space PVs. Using anorthosite-based regolith simulant, they produced transparent moonglass suitable for perovskite deposition. Device performance matched existing references. Projected power conversion efficiency was 23%. As per study, Both the moonglass and perovskites showed high radiation tolerance. The team also demonstrated that moonglass served as substrate and encapsulation, enabling fabrication of moonglass/perovskite solar cells with minimal Earth-supplied materials. The process required limited equipment and achieved low energy payback times. Their hybrid approach avoided material-intensive semiconductor processing and offered a resilient solution for lunar solar energy generation.
