Grain size dependence of silicon solar cell parametersMeasurements of the non-uniform diffusion length of the minority carriers near grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicon have been used to develop an analytical model for the calculation of solar cell output as a function of grain size. Experimental results are presented which verify the theoretical analysis. Variation of open circuit voltage and fill factor with grain size is discussed.
