- Abstract
The influence of non-radiative exciton recombination (NRER) on the photoconversion efficiency in silicon solar cells with short Shockley-Read-Hall lifetimes tSRH has been studied. It has been shown that the efficiency reduction due to this effect is the stronger the shorter tSRH. The influence of NRER is most evident when the NRER time becomes shorter than tSRH. At sufficiently short tSRH, NRER substantially limits the optimal base doping levels of silicon solar cells, at which the photoconversion efficiency is maximal.
