This research work shows the development of an n-i-p structured FTO/TiO2/Cs2TiI6/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au and a p-i-n structured FTO/PEDOT:PSS/Cs2TiI6/PCBM/Al-based PSC photovoltaic model. The PSC material, Cs2TiI6 thickness, device temperature, and optical visibility were studied under optimal conditions for both the n-i-p and p-i-n structured models using a 1.5G spectrum Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator – 1 Dimension simulator (SCAPS-1D). The n-i-p model (regular) showed that Cs2TiI6-based PSC has optimum photovoltaic performance at 500 nm thickness, where photovoltaic performance is recorded as VOC: 0.76 V, JSC: 13.69 mA/cm2, PCE: 7.6 %, and FF: 76%, and the p-i-n model (inverted) revealed that Cs2TiI6-based PSC has the highest PV performance at 400 nm thickness, where photovoltaic indices are recorded as VOC: 0.63 V, JSC: 14.22 mA/cm2, PCE: 6.7 %, and FF: 70%. On the other side, both n-i-p-structured FTO/TiO2/Cs2TiI6/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au and p-i-n-structured FTO/PEDOT:PSS/Cs2TiI6/PCBM/Al-based PSC models have optimum device temperatures at 30 C. The visible range for the n-i-p model and the p-i-n model-based device is 1000 nm and 900 nm wavelength, respectively.
