1. A method for packaging solar cells comprising:
arranging a set of perovskite solar cells within a glass housing defining a first coefficient of thermal expansion;
evacuating an ambient gaseous atmosphere from the glass housing and around the set of perovskite solar cells;
injecting a perovskite-compatible gaseous atmosphere into the glass housing;
electrically coupling a terminal comprising an oxide layer and a conductive material defining a second coefficient of thermal expansion substantially equivalent to the first coefficient of thermal expansion to the set of perovskite solar cells at a proximal end of the set of perovskite solar cells;
melting a section of the glass housing proximal a distal end of the set of perovskite solar cells; and
bonding a section of the glass housing about the terminal to seal the gaseous atmosphere around the set of perovskite solar cells within the glass housing.
