Perovskite‐based multijunction solar cells can potentially overcome the power conversion efficiency (PCE) limits of established solar cell technologies. The technology combines high‐efficiency perovskite top solar cells with crystalline silicon (c‐Si) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) single‐junction solar cells enabling a more efficient harnessing of solar energy. In this work, we present high‐efficiency and scalable perovskite‐CIGS and perovskite‐Si multijunction solar modules in a four‐terminal configuration. We design the multijunction solar modules for minimal optical losses through careful optical engineering. In addition to optimized light coupling, the solar modules are fabricated in a scalable device design. Starting from lab‐scale cells of 0.13 cm2, we scale up the multijunction devices by two orders of magnitude to 16 cm2 and investigate the various losses affecting the PCE of large‐area multijunction solar modules, thus providing valuable insights into scalability of the technology. The champion perovskite‐CIGS and perovskite‐Si multijunction solar modules exhibit higher PCE than the stand‐alone devices on sizes up 16 cm2, paving the way for high‐effiency perovskite‐based multijunction photovoltaics. This work brings to forth relevant upscaling aspects of perovskite‐based multijunction solar cell technology, which is a key milestone in the road to commercial feasibility of the perovskite‐based multijunction solar cell technology.

Combining inorganic perovskite quantum dots (IPQDs) devices with Si platform is an interesting topic since it is helpful for realizing the optoelectronic integration as well as the multiple‐functional electronics in a compact and lightweight format. However, the poor energy band alignment between the IPQDs and Si limits the device performance, such as the emitting efficiency. Here, a light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) structure is proposed by inserting a poly‐TPD (poly[N,N′‐bis(4‐butylphenyl)‐N,N′‐bis(phenyl)‐benzidine]) layer between the n‐type IPQDs and the p‐type Si substrate. The light‐emitting diode based on CsPbI3 quantum dots reaches an output power density of 1.68 mW cm−2 with external quantum efficiency of 0.91%, which is enhanced by 34‐fold compared with the reference device. Similar emission enhancement is also observed in the device based on CsPbBr3 quantum dots but the output power density is only 0.6 mW cm−2. In order to further improve the emission intensity of CsPbBr3 quantum dots devices, Au nanoparticals (Au NPs) are introduced into the hole injection layer, the output power density increases to 1.2 mW cm−2, which is induced by the localized surface plasmon resonance coupling between Au NPs and CsPbBr3 excitons. The results demonstrate that high‐efficiency and stable Si‐based perovskite LEDs can be realized by rational optical and electronic design.
