A solar cell can become reverse biased (i.e., can operate at a negative voltage) when it produces significantly less current than the other cells that it is connected in series with, for example, in the solar modules.
A second, more common approach, is to stabilize solar cells under high reverse bias, typically by improving breakdown voltage (Vrb) and thus minimizing the number of bypass diodes needed to protect a solar panel 29. This approach, widely seen in commercial silicon PV 30, 31, is studied more often for perovskite PV at present 16, 17, 21.
In practice, the reverse-bias issue is encountered in solar modules under partial shading, where the shaded cell is forced into reverse bias in an attempt to pass the photocurrent of its unshaded and series-connected neighbors.
Here we show that device architecture engineering has a significant impact on the reverse bias behaviour of perovskite solar cells.
To overcome this issue, blocking diodes are used to block the current flow back to the solar panels which prevents the draining of battery as well as protect the solar cells from hot-spots due to dissipating power inside it which lead to damage the solar cell.
