I am a master degree student wanting to learn deeper about perovskite solar cells. My knowledge about chemistry is rather half-baked. Please let me know the necessary textbooks I could learn in order to understand the chemistry of perovskite.

Very interesting question. Basic knowledge on stoichiometry, chemical reaction and some skill (training) are very important in preparing any material. Enough as a beginner. Best of luck.
Strange, but laudable desire for a physicist.
A feature of modern studies of certain chemical compounds is that chemists synthesize the samples, and physicists examine them. In this division of labor there is a fundamental limitation - the gap between these two stages and the absence of "feedback" - as a rule, spectra, etc., received in large numbers by physicists, give nothing to chemists (often these simply incomprehensible, because these are expressed in another scientific language - in this case physical). Therefore, these results do not increase understanding of chemists on the processes and features of the compound structure (not only and not so much of crystalline).
In addition, I am sure that there is no separate "chemistry of perovskites" (as well as separate chemistry of spinels, etc.), and there is solid-state chemistry in general. Therefore, it is highly desirable that the physicist have at least the approximate, initial concepts about this branch of chemistry.
Motion along the chain “composition-structure-defect-property” implies knowledge of not only this compound itself, but also certain theoretical representations as well examples for other compounds.
As for the actual question, it would be good trying to read A. R. West's "Basic Solid State Chemistry" in order to understand the fundamentals of this branch of science. By the way, Dr. West presents on the RG.
