Investigation of Shunts in Solar Cells

In the realm of solar cells, shunts are the sneaky little goons causing trouble, much like a skibidi toilet lurking in the background. This research dives deep into multi-crystalline silicon solar cells, utilizing lock-in thermography to pinpoint where these shunts hide. Think of it as a rizz move, gaining insight into how these pesky shunts affect performance. The power drop from these shunts can range from 3% to 15%, which is like edging towards disaster for efficiency. By simulating the cell behavior with PSpice, the team can reveal the harsh truth of shunt impacts and the need for better fabrication control. The beta sigma alpha of this study is understanding the balance between shunt severity and solar cell performance.
