Which mechanism increases in polycrystalline silicon solar cells due to grain boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Increased grain boundaries in crystals cause higher electron-hole recombination because imperfections act as traps that promote undesirable recombination events; therefore efficiency drops due recombination rate rather than phonon scattering that reduces carrier mobility if boundaries are aligned.
