← ScienceWhich failure arises in crystalline silicon solar cells when excess doping creates near-surface distortions reducing lifetime?
A)Reduced open-circuit voltage✓
B)Increased series resistance
C)Elevated short-circuit current
D)Decreased shunt impedance
💡 Explanation
Reduced open-circuit voltage appears because band gap narrowing reduces the potential barrier, limiting photovoltage; therefore open-circuit voltage drops, rather than short-circuit increasing or resistance changing.
