**Perovskite & Tandem Photovoltaics: State of the Field (October 2026)** (v1, updated 2026-10-30; 2,970 words, 50 sources, 30 evidence-mapped claims)

This dossier covers perovskite single-junction cells, perovskite-silicon and all-perovskite tandems, their efficiency records, stability work and scale-up. The main takeaway is that laboratory perovskite-silicon tandems now report efficiencies above the single-junction detailed-balance limit of roughly 33 percent, while field durability, standardized stability reporting and large-area uniformity remain the binding constraints.
