In this paper, we have investigated the structural, optoelectronic and elastic properties of AGeI(3) (A=K, Rb and Cs) using the density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for potential exchange correlation. The modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ-GGA) potential approximation is also used for calculating the optoelectronic properties of the material. The results show that the band structure of the perovskites AGeI(3) (have a semiconductor behavior with direct band gap at R-R direction, the gap energy values calculated with mBJ-GGA, for each compound as following: 0.58, 0.63, and 0.71eV, respectively. The optical properties, such as real and imaginary parts of the dielectric functions, refractive index, reflectivity, conductivity and absorption coefficient are investigated. As results, these compounds are competent candidates photovoltaic application like light harvester.
