Originální abstrakt

This paper investigates imperfection issues of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cell structures and diagnostic methods of the CIGS solar cells. Electroluminescence and thermography are used to localize defect in macroscopic scale. Microstructures found in defective solar cell area are shown using micrographs. Focused ion beam was used to demonstrate that these structures interfere each solar cell layers. It is shown that micro sized defects (voids) behave as extra-stressed conductive channels that can degrade solar cells in module.
