Renewable sources are the ultimate solution to suffice the current energy crises present in the today’s world. Dependencies on the energy requirements can’t be snubbed in any case. Among the most worn renewable sources, Solar Energy is been the epitome of energy source. Solar cells, an idol of solar energy is the most preferred technology that is highly responsible for the fulfilment of energy needs. But an efficient source also requires a careful selection of the contributing attributes for its significant functioning. Among the main constituents, this paper mainly focusses on the prospects of inorganic material CuO (Copper Oxide) as a hole transport material. The result provides a clear indication of a highly efficient material and supports its use in the fabrication of perovskite solar cells. Simulation results concluded with an increase of 4.14% in power conversion efficiency, 4.05% increase in open circuit voltage and 2.621% enhanced short circuit current density.
