{{considerations}}

==Lead toxicity==
{{sum|Likely problem|bad}}

The best-performing perovskites are lead-based. This probably wouldn't be an issue for small-scale applications managed properly, but could maybe pose a major environmental hazard if [[rooftop solar|every rooftop were covered]] in these panels (which is roughly what would be needed to produce generate enough [[energy]] to replace all [[fossil fuels]]).

==Mineral scarcity==
{{sum|Likely problem|bad}}
There are a few alternatives to lead-based perovskites - most involve tin and/or cesium, which are rarer metals than lead. If the goal is to replace most fossil fuels, resources might be far too scarce.{{qn}}

==Efficiency==
{{sum|Good|good}}
The best achievable efficiency is 33%, although this is difficult and expensive. 20% efficiency is probably a more realistic expectation,{{rn}} which would be comparable to other high-performing solar panels on the market (most of which are also mineral-intensive in other ways).
