Solar energy has the potential to solve world energy problem as it is pollution- free. It could be enhanced using perovskite material as an absorber in perovskite solar cells. The history and what this material is made up of are emphasized. Different methods of fabrication, improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and factors influencing degradation of perovskite-based solar are stated. Because of the fact that this material based solar cells are not yet developed, its stability was reviewed to bring different technology employed in tackling the stability aiming for a better understanding of the material and the devices and facilitates the commercialization of perovskite solar cell.
