Time of transition processes in a CdS-CIGS structural solar cells in the short-wave part of the absorption spectrum at different loading resistances

The work is devoted to the study of the influence of solar radiation in the short-wave part of the absorption spectrum at different loading resistances on the lifetime (τ ) of minority photogenerated charge carriers (∆n) of a thin-film solar cell based on Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 .It was found that with an increase in the generated photocurrent and the magnitude of the load resistance the lifetime of minority photogenerated charge carriers of a thin-film solar cell based on Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 increases.The obtained experimental results are interpreted by the charge exchange of defect states, which capture the injected and photogenerated electrons, as a result of which they cease to be active recombination centers.
