Original Abstract

Characterization of solar cells based on evaluation of solar cell response to fast transients is described. The measurement and evaluation procedure is very simple and no expensive devices are needed. The parameters as the reverse breakdown voltage, depletion layer width and capacitance, serial and parallel resistance and minority carrier lifetime can be acquired easily To cancel the influence of the depletion layer capacitance a voltage bias in the range 400 – 500 mV was used. The voltage bias was made with dark current bias or with light bias. The measurement and evaluation scheme is given and some parameters of different quality solar cells are discussed.

Keywords

Solar cells, reverse breakdown voltage, minority carrier lifetime, recombination, diffusion capacitance
