← ScienceWhich change accompanies increased temperature in photovoltaic systems?
A)Diminished open-circuit voltage occurs✓
B)Enhanced short-circuit tunneling results
C)Increased minority carrier lifetimes appear
D)Augmented quantum entanglement appears
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature raises electron energy levels. The Fermi-Dirac distribution function spreads because more electrons surmount the junction barrier, therefore open-circuit voltage drops, rather than an increase in tunneling, carrier lifetimes or quantum entanglement under thermal effects.
