Perovskite solar cells garnered commercial interest due to their device's impressive photon conversion efficiencies and improvements in longterm stabilities. The critical indicators of high-quality perovskite solar cells are often associated with morphological characteristics, such as grain size, compact packing, surface smoothness, and formation of suitable interfaces with charge transport layers. In the present study, the linear electroabsorption spectral signals emanating from the interface of methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite films grown on different electrodes and charge transport layers are shown to be sensitive to surface roughness. The polymeric hole transporting layers PEDOT:PSS on FTO/ITO substrates as underlayers were shown to produce smoother films with weaker linear electroabsorption signals compared with the tin oxide electron transporting layer on the FTO substrate as an underlayer, thereby highlighting the potential of linear electroabsorption spectroscopy to screen the quality of perovskite solar cells.
