Which outcome occurs when impurities raise grain boundary resistance within polycrystalline silicon solar cells?

💡 Explanation

Reduced current happens because the electron's Wave function collapse experiences increased scattering via grain boundaries, diminishing the carrier's collection probability. Therefore, short-circuit current decreases, rather than alternatives like increased electron mobility, which implies a reduction in scattering despite the higher resistance.
