In a recent issue of Joule, Xu et al. demonstrated tha,t unlike single-junction perovskite solar cells, perovskite/silicon tandem cells (PSTCs) can withstand even a negative bias of −15V for >12 h without any signs of degradation by tackling the issues above at its source—limit the reverse leakage current ( I r e v ).
Models to represent the behaviour of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells in reverse bias are reviewed, concluding with the proposal of a new model. This model comes from the study of avalanche mechanisms in PV solar cells, and counts on physically meaningful parameters.
3Sun s.r.l. is a company with interest in the production and commercialization of photovoltaic modules. Abstract The reverse bias stability is a key concern for the commercialization and reliability of halide perovskite photovoltaics. Here, the robustness of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells to r...
However, we highlighted that the tandem solar cells' resistance to the reverse bias is not universal but depends on the electrical and optical design of the device. In fact, the protection from silicon is effective if the bottom cell features a breakdown voltage in the range of −40 V along with a high shunt resistance.
Therefore, the largest reverse bias that could be experienced by a shadowed cell will be ≈−38 V (assuming a Voc of 2 V for each cell). Therefore, a reverse bias experiment at −40 V as shown in this work could be a good figure of merit for the development of shadow-resilient tandem solar modules.
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.
