Bakker, N.J. (author), Assen, Suzanne (author), Rasia, Alix (author), Barreau, Nicolas (author), Weeber, A.W. (author), Theelen, Mirjam (author)Partial shading of PV modules can lead to degradation of the shaded cells. The degradation originates from a reverse bias voltage over the shaded cells. In order to mitigate reverse bias damage in Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) modules, a good understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing the reverse characteristic is required. In this study, a...journal article 2022

Bakker, N.J. (author), Rasia, Alix (author), Assen, Suzanne (author), Aflouat, Basma Ben Said (author), Weeber, A.W. (author), Theelen, Mirjam (author)When a PV module is partially shaded, the shaded solar cells operate in a reverse bias condition. For Cu(In,Ga)Se2 cells this condition can cause defects that irreversibly reduce the output of these cells and the full module. In order to design robust shade-tolerant CIGS modules details need to be known of the conditions at which these...journal article 2020
