How does the efficiency of a Thin Film solar cell compare to the efficiency of a single crystal solar cell with reference to the 5 main solar cell parameters ( Iopt , Rs, Rsh, Is and n )?
I know series resistance( Rs ) will probably increase in thin film cells because of grain boundaries which will cause increased recombination and I think the shunt resistance will probably reduce because there are many layers to be deposited in a thin film so there is increased risk of manufacturing defects, is this right?
How are the other parameters affected? Do they remain unchanged?
