Abstract A facile and eco‐friendly dimethyl sulfoxide‐mediated solution aging (DMSA) treatment is presented to control the crystallization dynamics of methylammonium (MA)‐free wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskite films, enhancing film quality, morphology for high‐performance tandem solar cells. The comprehensive structural, morphological, characterization analyses reveal that DMSA significantly enhances composition homogeneity while suppressing halide segregation. Consequently, opaque, semi‐transparent MA‐free WBG cells (PSCs) exhibit remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) 18.28% 17.61%, respectively. Notably, unencapsulated DMSA‐treated devices maintain 95% initial PCE after 900 h continuous operation at 55 °C ± 5 °C. Furthermore, stacking PSCs as top in a 4T configuration, along with silicon heterojunction (SHJ), lead–tin (Pb–Sn) alloyed PSCs, organic photovoltaics (OPV) bottom cells, yields impressive PCEs 28.09%, 26.09%, 25.28%, respectively, fabricated This innovative approach opens new avenues photo‐stability photovoltaic performance perovskite‐based
