At present, the commercially dominant and rapidly expanding PV‐device technology is
based on the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) design developed at UNSW …

Silicon-based solar cells and modules currently constitute the majority of photovoltaic
systems deployed globally with a market share exceeding 90%, stemming from the …

In this work, we demonstrate a form of minority carrier degradation on n-type Cz silicon that
affects both the bulk and surface related lifetimes. We identify three key behaviors of the …

State-of-the-art solar cells with passivated surfaces fabricated on block-cast multicrystalline
silicon (mc-Si) wafers show a pronounced degradation in efficiency under illumination at …

The understanding and development of advanced hydrogenation processes for silicon solar
cells are presented. Hydrogen passivation is incorporated into virtually all silicon solar cells …

The root cause of “Light and Elevated Temperature Induced Degradation”(LeTID) of the
carrier lifetime in multicrystalline silicon (mc‐Si) wafers is investigated by depositing …

In current silicon solar cell technologies, hydrogen is incorporated into the solar cell during
the fast-firing process. It passivates defects at the surface and in the bulk, but also leads to …

In this article, the impact of different hydrogen configurations and their evolution on the
extent and kinetics of light-and elevated-temperature-induced degradation (LeTID) is …

The root cause of light-and elevated temperature-induced degradation (LeTID) in
multicrystalline silicon p-type passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) devices is still …

Light and elevated temperature induced degradation (LeTID) can induce high power losses
in photovoltaic modules built from various types of silicon wafers. After the industry's rapid …
