Original Abstract

We present experimental data of light emission measurement from reverse-biased monocrystalline solar cell samples. Using high sensitivity light detection technique (cooled PMT in photon counting regime), some spots appearing in low reverse voltage Ur = 1.9 V have been found. Thermal dependency of light emission from bulk and edge defects shows different characteristics, respectively. Therefore not all of the light emitting spots in visible range are connected with avalanche multiplication or microplasmas. This measurement proves that all defects in the cell are not of the same nature.
