How to measure I/V on a polymer thin film solar cell?

I have prepared polymer solar cell on a ITO coated glass with the area of around 1 inch2. I am using four probe set up with sun simulator. The problem is when I am applying probes to the top...

Is there any chemical etching agent which etch Silicon but do not react with Aluminum or ITO ?

I am working on Si thin film solar cells and to expose back electrode, I need to etch some Silicon out of it. Some silicon is also deposited on the sides of glass substrate which also needed to be...

What could be the possible reasons responsible for poor fill factor in Si thin film solar cells?

I am working on Si thin film solar cells. I got voc of near 500 mV and Isc of about 25 mA/cm2 but with the fill factor of about 19 % only. Aluminum was base electrode and TCO was the front...

Is annealing necessary in case of silicon thin film solar cells before I/V characteriation?

I have sprayed silicon solar cells (p-i-n) on a glass substrate. The sprayed films are not stable and can be removed easily by touching it. I think I need to go for annealing of the films but I...
