Transient carrier recombination dynamics in potential‐induced degradation p‐type single‐crystalline Si photovoltaic modules

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the recombination dynamics of minority carriers through the decay profile analysis of transient diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (TDRS) for fresh and potential‐induced degradation (PID) modules. The PID‐affected region in terms of the degradation degree on the modules was firstly localized using conventional methods such as electroluminescence (EL) and lock‐in thermal images. The photogenerated carrier density and carrier lifetime were different in photovoltaic (PV) modules in fr… Show more

“…Transient absorption spectroscopy is also possible to investigate the carrier dynamics even for the PID-affected PV modules, in detail. 42,43) But such measurement system limits the sample size which is much smaller than the conventional PV modules and consumes a long time to finish the measurement, indicating conventional PV modules cannot be applied to such measurement to investigate the carrier's behavior in the PV modules after PID. Our proposed method in this work can finish a measurement in a second in one point, apply for large size modules, and become a nondestructive outdoor inspection to detect PID deterioration since μ-PCD method can be a portable system, indicating that it can open a new door for the investigation of the mechanism of PID phenomenon by focusing on the excess minority carrier profile.…”
