Nowadays, with all their different forms, tandem cells are considered on top of the modern fields that many researchers try toexplore all over the world. Both theoretical studies and applied technologies are struggling to realize the theoretical limit of thesingle-cell efficiency (~30%). Many kinds of tandem cells can be gathered together in different categories. Concerning thematerials used, they are classified into organic, inorganic, and hybrid. But sometimes, they are classified, focusing on theconnections used for sub-cells – stacked, optical splitting, or monolithic. Halide perovskite-based solar cells have acquiredgreat significance in recent years. They gained a major interest because of their cheap and simple manufacturing as well as fastefficiency improvements. All these advantages have already met those of the industrially prevailing multi-crystalline silicon.Integration of perovskite absorber materials into multi-junction cells encourages researchers to exceed the limits of silicon-based technology and run after higher power transforming efficiencies. Layering many absorbers solar junctions stacked oneabove the other helped in the absorption process throughout the solar spectrum, hence, more energy could be obtained fromsunlight. Two qualities caused perovskites to become the ideal candidates: First, the availability of adjusting the energy gap ofperovskite materials to a great extent. Second, the capability to produce high open-circuit voltages from wide-bandgapabsorbers. Perovskites could be used combined with or as an alternative for silicon (Si) in photovoltaic technologies. Thosetechnologies were used practically and could be collected in architectures of hybrid tandems or layered in all multi-junctionperovskite cells. In this review, many opportunities for perovskite multi-junction cells were tested in an attempt to find out newdevelopments via inspecting possibilities.
