Abstract

In this Letter, shunts caused by potential-induced degradation (PID) of crystalline solar cells are investigated in detail. Electron beam induced current measurements at low acceleration voltage reveal that PID shunts are always correlated with stacking faults in a {111} plane. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy mapping and cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with EDX analyses prove that these shunting stacking faults are decorated with sodium. Accordingly, a model for PIDshunting is introduced.
