Abstract
The influence of ultrasound on current–voltage characteristics of crystalline silicon solar sell was investigated experimentally. The transverse and longitudinal acoustic waves were used over a temperature range of 290–340 K. It was found that the ultrasound loading leads to the reversible decrease in the photogenerated current, open–circuit voltage, fill factor, carrier lifetime, and shunt resistance as well as the increase in the ideality factor. The experimental results were described by using the models of coupled defect level recombination, Shockley–Read–Hall recombination, and dislocation–induced impedance. The contribution of the boron-oxygen related defects, iron-–boron pairs, and oxide precipitates to both the carrier recombination and acousto–defect interaction was discussed. The experimentally observed phenomena are associated with the increase in the distance between coupled defects as well as the extension of the carrier capture coefficient of complex point defects and dislocations.
