Influence of Different Types of Recombination Active Defects on the Integral Electrical Properties of Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Figure 3

EL image of a 6′′ mc-Si solar cell. The mini solar cells which were taken are marked with rectangles. The sample with a large number of Type-A defects is marked with a purple rectangle, the sample with Type-B defects with an orange rectangle, and the sample with a low defect density (reference) with a black rectangle. In the table the main results of the sun simulator measurements of the mini solar cells are summarized. The efficiencies are normalized to the sample with the low defect density (reference sample).
