Introduction: The construction sector plays a pivotal role in global natural resource consumption, underscoring the urgency of promoting energy efficiency in buildings. With the escalating demand for renewable energy, solar power has gained significant traction. This study focuses on conducting a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of solar energy integration in residential buildings.Methods: The approach involves a novel comparison between photovoltaic panels and Solar Heating Systems (SHS) based on both environmental and financial considerations. To evaluate the practical implications, a case study was undertaken on an affordable housing complex in Brazil. Three distinct models were simulated for analysis: Model 1, featuring a grid-connected photovoltaic project with zero energy balance; Model 2, incorporating a grid-connected photovoltaic project with two solar panels generating 340 W each; and Model 3, integrating an SHS.Results: The findings reveal the technical and economic feasibility of all proposed models. Model 1 stands out with superior performance in terms of estimated energy generation, energy savings, and annual reduction of CO2 emissions. On the other hand, Model 3 excels in the financial analysis, indicating its viability from a cost perspective.Discussion: This research contributes to informed decision-making processes regarding the utilization of photovoltaic panels and SHS, thereby fostering energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings. The nuanced comparison of environmental and financial aspects provides valuable insights for stakeholders in the construction and renewable energy sectors. The identified strengths and trade-offs of each model enable a more holistic understanding of the implications of solar energy integration in residential buildings.

Previously, various approaches and methods have been developed for the construction of high performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The lead (Pb)‐based PSCs demonstrated excellent performance but suffers from low stability and presence of toxic Pb. Thus, a rapid surge in the development of Pb free PSCs has been observed. Recently, various Pb free elements such as germanium (Ge), bismuth, tin and antimony based materials were adopted as absorber materials. Among these, Ge halide based absorber materials have received significant attention for the development of Pb free PSCs. Despite the exceptional optoelectronic properties of Ge‐based perovskite structures, the efficiency of resulting PSCs remains lower compared to their Pb‐based PSCs. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the simulation studies of PSCs using solar cell capacitance simulation‐one dimensional (SCAPS‐1D) method. Numerous reports have emerged from different research groups simulating various Ge‐based PSCs via SCAPS‐1D. These simulation studies have shown promise in aiding the development of Pb‐free PSCs. In this mini‐review, previously reported literature on Ge‐based PSCs for experimental studies and simulation studies via SCAPS‐1D had been amassed. We believe that present mini review article will attract scientific researchers engaged in experimental and theoretical investigations of Ge‐based PSCs.
