Computational Method to Obtain the Lifetime of Electrons for Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells.

Limitations in the calculation of the lifetime of electrons experimentally give a way to calculate the lifetime of the electrons inside the grains of the polycrystalline silicon solar cells through modelling. A theoretical model to calculate the same has been reported here for the first time. Dependency of the solar cell parameters on the lifetime of electrons have been employed to do the calculation.
