[14a-A403-9] PID phenomena and light irradiation effects for thin film silicon photovoltaic modules
Keywords:thin-film silicon solar cells, PID, Delamination
The delamination phenomena of thin-film silicon solar cells and the effects of light irradiation on potential induced degradation (PID) were investigated. It was found that delamination occurs only at the area with voltage application and that atmospheric humidity is involved in delamination. It was also suggested that PID is suppressed by light irradiation even UV component.
