- Environmentally safe – University of Warwick researchers propose perovskite solar cells can be made with tin instead of lead, which can be toxic to environment
- Cheaper to produce – Reported tin-based perovskite solar cells are cheaper to produce than lead-based solar cells and can have simpler design which reduces fabrication cost
- Commercially stable – Demonstrated tin perovskite cells as 10 times more stable than lead perovskites, making it viable alternative
- Implications – Include commercialization of cheaper solar power which can solve problem of climate change
