The deposition of an additional layer of nanoparticles is a widely used method for improving the optical and electrical characteristics of semiconductor solar cells (SCs). In this work, films of nanocrystals (NC) of inorganic perovskites of lead halides CsPbI3 and CsPbBr3 are deposited on the surface of a solar cell based on crystalline silicon (c-Si). It is shown that the optical properties of such NC films are in good agreement with the optical properties of c-Si. It has been found that the absorption coefficient of solar cells with NC layers of inorganic perovskites is much higher in the visible region of the spectrum, which increases the photocurrent generation in the SC in the range of 370–900 nm. A significant effect of surface roughness on the photoelectric properties of solar cells has been found. CsPbI3 NC films have a textured surface and higher photocurrent than CsPbBr3 NC films, which are rougher. Enhanced photovoltaic properties of FE structures with a CsPbI3 NC layer compared to CsPbBr3 NC films due to their lower degree of roughness were observed.
