This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new potential-induced degradation (PID) mechanism for c-Si is reported. Multiple characterization techniques in various aspects of a material's chemical, structural, electrical, and optoelectrical nature, as well as in atomic, nanometer, micrometer, millimeter, and cell and module scales, are combined. All results point consistently to a new discovery: substantial large-area deterioration of materials and junctions plays a major role.
