Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown a significant increase in power conversion efficiency (PCE) under laboratory circumstances from 2006 to the present, rising 3.8% an astonishing 25%. This scientific breakthrough corresponds changing energy situation and industrial potential. The flexible perovskite cell (FPSC), which capitalizes on benefits of thin-film deposition operates at low temperatures, is key this transition. FPSC strategically important for large-scale deployment mass manufacturing, especially when combined with moderate thermodynamic conditions. Its versatility demonstrated by ease it may be folded, rolled, or coiled over substrates, allowing efficient transportation. Notably, FPSCs outperform traditional panels terms adaptability. several advantages rigid including mobility, lightweight properties that help transportation, scalability via roll-to-roll (R2R) deposition, incorporation into textiles architecture. in-depth examination dives their fundamental design various fabrication techniques, include conducting absorber layers, coordinated charge movement, conductive electrodes. review evaluates critical techniques such as thermal evaporation, R2R approaches, slot die spray blade coating, spin coating. present challenges constructing high performance long-term stability are also highlighted. Finally, industry's potential uses both indoor outdoor been discussed.
