Researchers find strong vendor-to-vendor variation in UVID performance of TOPCon solar cells

Researchers find strong vendor-to-vendor variation in UVID performance of TOPCon solar cells

US researchers found significant manufacturer-dependent differences in UV-induced degradation and light-assisted recovery among commercial TOPCon solar cells. The results highlight the need for controlled light soaking before testing and for accounting for daily dark-degradation and recovery cycles in performance models. The post Researchers find strong vendor-to-vendor variation in UVID performance of TOPCon solar cells appeared
