  • Abstract
    Based on experimental observation, a new mathematical model is made for explaining the carrier lifetime versus temperature dependence in silicon solar cells manufactured on p-type material with one dominant acceptor trap energy level, situated in the lower part of the forbidden band. This model explains the behaviour of the lifetime taking into account the SRH model for the lifetime and the physical parameters temperature dependencies
