The impact of electron irradiation on PERC, TOPCon solar cell performance

UNSW researchers have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on PERC and TOPCon solar cell performance and have identified bulk lifetime degradation as main power loss cause. Their work stresses the need for increasing radiation tolerance in commercial space silicon solar cells.Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on the performance of p-PERC, n-TOPCon and p-TOPCon solar cells and have found that this phenomenon can cause "severe" degradation. "Our work builds on our earlier work on solar cell modelling ...
