Focusing on the impact of defects in multicrystalline silicon solar cells, this book delves into how these imperfections affect power conversion efficiency, particularly in current-voltage characteristics. It examines various defects and their mechanisms, emphasizing breakdown behavior and reverse current. The use of spatially resolved lock-in thermography for analyzing breakdown sites is highlighted, along with detailed descriptions of early, defect-induced, and avalanche breakdown types. This resource is tailored for scientists and engineers in solar cell research and development.
