US development is also progressing. It looks like the initial market for these panels will be for utilities at large scale. Not sure when/if they will be available to the homeowner.

Longi, in China is also making good progress in this field with steady, incremental technical improvements.. Meanwhile, researchers at Rice University in Houston have found a way to make perovskite solar cells more stable by improving a type of perovskite called formamidinium lead iodide — or FLI for short. FLI may end up as the main ingredient in future advanced solar cells. This is promising. It looks like we may see perovskite panels available at the residential level in a couple of years.
