Abstract: Field-effect solar cells (FESCs) are increasingly attractive for 2-D heterojunction solar cells and especially for gate-tunable Schottky-junction solar cells. A prerequisite for applying FESCs is that the gate-leakage (GL) power must be far less than the output power. However, the conduction mechanism of the GL current in a FESC has yet to be

All three device types exhibit a significant shunt leakage current at low forward bias V 0.4 and reverse bias, which cannot be explained by the classical solar cell diode model. This parasitic shunt current exhibits non-Ohmic behavior, as opposed to the traditional constant shunt resistance model for photovoltaics.
Leakage current in a solar cell can be considered as undesirable current that is injected from the electrodes prior to the turn on voltage. Within the operating regime (0 V to open circuit voltage), leakage current flows opposite to the photocurrent and thereby reduces the light current.
Predominantly the DC part of the leak-age current can cause significant electrochemical corrosion of cell and frame metals, potential-induced degradation (PID) of the shunting type and PID of the solar cells’ sur-face passivation [1,2,3].
ABSTRACT: Small leakage currents flow between the frame and the active cell matrix in photovoltaic (PV) modules under normal operation conditions due to the not negligible electric conductivity of the module build-ing materials.
In this report, we demonstrate that parasitic leakage currents dominate the current voltage characteristics of organic solar cells measured under illumination intensities less than one sun when the device shunt resistance is too low (<10 6 Ω cm 2).
The leakage current can be caused by defect in material or process, and it is process-induced in cell B, since cell B and A were cut from a same wafer while A did not show a leakage current. The phenomenon of leakage current lead by process have been investigated by many researchers (Breitenstein et al. 2004 ).
The obtained results indicate that leakage current is not only related with electrical layout of the PV array but also the resistance of EVA and glass. Need Help?
