Technical FAQs 4

Can a bend radius of 51 mm reduce solar cell performance?

Rance et al. produced CdTe on Corning Willow Glass™ and the solar cells efficiency was measured in the flexed and flat state. It was demonstrated that a bend radius of 51 mm can be achieved without decreasing device performance .

What are the error bars in a solar cell bending test?

The error bars are the standard deviation of the 8 solar cells. In addition, a static 32 mm bending test was performed for 168 h (Fig. 4). The J-V was measured before and after bending and in 32 mm bend radius at 0, 24, 48, 120, 144 and 168 h.

Does bending test affect photovoltaic characteristics under 40 mm and 32 mm bend radius?

Effect of photovoltaic characteristics under 40 mm and 32 mm bend radius are revealed. Performances were compared to the measurements in a planar state before and after bending test. The impact of bending test on EQE, C-V and residual stress measurements were analysed.

Why is bending important in PV analysis?

Among these analysis approaches, bending is particularly common for assessing the performance of flexible PVs, using the bending radius as the main parameter.
