Indonesia is an archipelagic nation that has many small islands where the average load is low and currently supplied by diesel power generators. The drawbacks from these generators are cost constraints from its operation. Solar cells are the solution of this problem with the support of daily average radiation in Indonesia of 4.8 kWh/m2/day. There has been a lot of technology for the construction of solar cells such as silicon based, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), which was already successfully commercialized. However, these technologies have been obsolete and started to reach its maximum potential. Perovskite solar cells have a very high future potential, due to the increase on the efficiency of this technology in a relatively short amount of time. The current challenge for the fabrication of perovskite solar cell is the material cost and fabrication cost. This paper discussed the low-cost fabrication of perovskite solar cell using only spin coating deposition method and relatively also low-cost materials for the structure of the perovskite solar cell itself. As a result, we achieve perovskite solar cell with VOC of 0.6 V, ISC of 13 mA, FF of 0.28, and 1.2% efficiency.

Over the past decade, organic solar cells (OSCs) have demonstrated their great potential for the low-cost mass production of renewable energy.  However, the conventional active layer deposition technique (spin-coating) is not suitable for mass production due to its incompatibility with the roll-to-roll process. Spray-coating is a promising candidate for in-line production of OSCs but parameters such as distance between the spray nozzle and substrate, applied pressure and number of sprays should be optimized to produce adequate film thickness and morphology. Here, we verified how these processing parameters influence the thin film properties and observed that film thickness increases with decreasing nozzle-substrate distance, increasing number of sprays or applied pressure. The processing parameters were adjusted to produce spray-coated films with similar properties to the spin-coated ones thus confirming that spray-coating could replace spin-coating for mass production of OSC devices.
