The radiation hardness of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 ‐based solar cells is evaluated from in situ measurements during high‐energy proton irradiation. These organic–inorganic perovskites exhibit radiation hardness and withstand proton doses that exceed the damage threshold of crystalline silicon by almost 3 orders of magnitude. Moreover, after termination of the proton irradiation, a self‐healing process of the solar cells commences.
