Abstract

It is shown that the solution of the transport equation for the minority carriers in a solar cell can be aided by the use of Green’s functions — solutions which give the cell response to carriers generated in a single point. The use of this concept is illustrated by considering the difference between the effect of surface and bulk recombination in silicon emitters.
