Which risk increases when a photovoltaic cell experiences significant lattice strain?

💡 Explanation

Increased lattice strain introduces structural defects that act as trapping centers promoting electron-hole recombination because these defects disrupt the periodic potential therefore energy is dissipated rather than contributing to current, rather than enhance carrier mobility.
