Solar cell performance is determined by generation and recombination of electron-hole pairs. This tutorial focussing on recombination losses in crystalline silicon solar cells under short-circuit and open-circuit conditions.

Solar Cells Lecture 4: What is Different about Thin-Film Solar Cells?

A new version of the course has been posted here.  The modern solar cell was invented at Bell Labs in 1954 and is currently receiving renewed attention as a potential contribution to addressing the world&amp;#39;s energy challenge. This set of five tutorials is an introduction to solar...
