Effect of Localized Inhomogenity of Shunt Resistance on the Spectral Response and Dark I-V Characteristics of Silicon Solar Cell

The I-V characteristics and spectral response of screen printed solar cells and portions diced from them have been measured. It has been found that localized inhomogenity in shunt resistance affect the spectral response of the cell and the region, which had low shunt resistance and spectral response, decides the shunt resistance and spectral response of the complete solar cell
