Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of experimental studies on changes in the efficiency of p-i-n-structured solar cells based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si : H) with different thicknesses of the intrinsic i-region under prolonged illumination. An improvement in the efficiency of solar cells owing to light exposure and the Staebler–Wronski effect were observed. It was established that a-Si : H solar cells have a predetermined structure and parameters that influence the Staebler–Wronski effect, which must be taken into consideration in photocell construction.
