← ScienceWhich mechanism causes photocurrent reduction in non-ideal solar cells?
A)Surface electron-hole recombination increases strongly✓
B)Increased bulk material charge trapping
C)Photon transmittance through electrodes lessens
D)Edge depletion region cross-section drops
💡 Explanation
Surface passivation defects cause the photoelectric response drop due to surface state recombination. The Shockley-Read-Hall recombination increases, because it produces excess trapped charges at the surface; therefore, photocurrent diminishes rather than merely changing bulk material resistivity.
