The high efficiency of lead halide perovskite solar cells is revolutionizing photovoltaics and, at the same time, puzzling the scientific community. Here, the authors take up the prediction that a large Rashba-type spin-orbit effect slows down carrier recombination. From their experiments on organic perovskites, they conclude that this effect is much smaller than so far believed. For the inorganic CsPbBr${}_{3}$ perovskite, they probe the electron spin and reduce the upper limit for a Rashba effect by two orders of magnitude.
