Fast Regeneration Processes to Avoid Light-Induced Degradation in Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Light-induced degradation (LID) of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cell performance has been reported to be surprisingly strong for conditions relevant under field operation. In paticular, solar cells with dielectrically passivated rear sides such as passivated emitter and rear cells are affected by this LID effect that can cause a loss of more than 10%rel in cell efficiency. With the root ...
