Keywords:CdTe photovoltaic modules, potential-induced degradation

Potential-induced degradation and its recovery process were studied for CdTe photovoltaic modules. It was found that initial degradation originates from a decrease in short-circuit current density and large degradation occurs by voltage application after the recovery.
