Stability Testing for Silicon Solar Cells

Testing the stability of silicon solar cells, including accelerated degradation testing of susceptibility to light-induced degradation and the recently identified light- and elevated temperature-induced degradation mechanisms.

Competitive advantage

  • Accelerated degradation capabilities to obtain susceptibility to light-induced degradation
  • Expertise in the development of R&D tools for accelerated stability testing of silicon solar cells
  • Experience in developing processes to mitigate light-induced degradation in silicon solar cells

Successful applications

  • Rapid testing of light-induced degradation susceptibility in silicon solar cells
  • Commercialisation of advanced hydrogenation processes for eliminating light-induced degradation and light- and elevated temperature-induced degradation in silicon solar cells

Capabilities and facilities

  • Tools for accelerated stability testing of laboratory size and industrial silicon solar cells with high-intensity illumination
  • Tools for conventional stability testing of silicon solar cells
  • Suitable for cell sizes up to industrial silicon solar cell dimensions
