摘要
N-type silicon-based solar cells are currently being used for achieving high efficiency. However, most of the photovoltaic modules already constructed are based on p-type silicon solar cells, and there are few studies on potential induced degradation (PID) in n-type solar cells. In this study, we investigated PID in n-type silicon solar cells with a front p+ emitter. Further, the PID characteristics of n-type solar cells are compared with those of p-type solar cells. The electrical properties of PID in solar cells are observed with the light I-V, quantum efficiency (QE), and electroluminescence (EL). The possible causes for the change in the external quantum efficiency (EQE) after PID are interpreted using PC1D and are discussed by comparing the experimental results with the simulation results.
