Abstract
Fast light-induced degradation of amorphous silicon p-i-n solar cells has been investigated by replacing cw illumination by light pulses of the same average intensity. This method allows us to evaluate the long-term device performance with exposure times of the order of minutes and avoids complication due to cell temperature increase.Keywords
