Abstract
We have studied light-induced degradation in hydrogenated and deuterated amorphous silicon alloy solar cells. Replacing hydrogen with deuterium in the intrinsic layer of the cell improves stability against light exposure. Possible explanations for the improved stability are discussed.Keywords
