For a proper reference and development over time across all PV technologies, see here: https://www.nrel.gov/pv/assets/pdfs/best-research-cell-efficiencies.pdf Perovskites (which are a range of materials that only share the perovskite structure) are in that graphic the red round dots with yellow filling.

Great thxs.: not a boring paper, a very informative graph that leads you through the rabbit hole.

It should be noted that multijunction cells here are not a 1:1 comparison and they are made by effectively stacking multiple cells that have different bandgaps to absorb more of the light. The limit for single junction is ~33%. One of the big potential applications of perovskite is depositing them over current silicon cells to form a tandem cell.
