Thin-Film Module Measurement Artifacts

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

A number of artifacts that affect the accuracy and meaning of characterization may be apparent in thin-film module measurements. Such artifacts are often negligible for small single thin-film cells or even single-crystal modules. Possible artifacts include artificially high or low cell series resistances during current-voltage measurements, artificially low quantum efficiencies, artificially low module currents or cell voltages, and misleading signals from selective illumination measurements.
