We spray alum oxide and aluminum to a wire mesh. The US Navy uses it on ships. If I could paint a solar layer it may melt the snow and ice from my products surface. This would be ideal for ship decks in cold climates.

I would have appreciated a little more perspective on lifetime than a reference to a reference article (intro is all that is publically available free) that starts with “The perovskite absorber material itself has been heavily scrutinized for being prone to degradation by water, oxygen and ultraviolet light. ” It’s about a 1000 hr test (~1/4 of a year of light?!) of unencapsulated perovskite with no translation to actual panel lifetime.
This implies that even with a nice “achieved 22.7% efficiency.” the technology is at least a decade away from residential rooftop products.
