Popis: This article is devoted to the study of the performance of the photovoltaic cell based on perovskite (MAPbI3) in real conditions of sub-Saharan Africa. A model of this cell has been made taking into account the integration of defects at the interfaces. After a study of the sensitivity of these defects, a passivation layer was introduced at the interface to improve the performance of the cell. The influence of temperature and irradiance on the performance of perovskite cells was studied on the one hand with defects at the interfaces and on the other hand with the integration of a passivation layer of defects. The results show a decrease of the performance ratio for the non-passivated cell due to the defects present at the interfaces of the said cell. The models developed under SCAPS-1D were validated by applying it to a real module found in the literature under the same conditions. The performance calculation shows a satisfactory qualitative and quantitative agreement. The results relative to the performance ratios obtained for the simulated models show that perovskite is on the right track for a potential future candidacy to the most suitable technologies for sub-Saharan Africa.
