Which consequence results when exceeding the design limits of amorphous silicon in solar panel manufacturing?

💡 Explanation

Amorphous silicon has defects creating band tail states; exceeding deposition temperature increases defect density, which causes increased electron-hole recombination via trap states rather than enhanced structural order. Therefore, open-circuit voltage decreases because carrier lifetime degrades significantly.
