Which mechanism limits the current produced when photons strike photovoltaic module's semiconductor junction?

💡 Explanation

When photons strike photovoltaic material, electron-hole pairs are created; however, electron-hole recombination acts by neutralizing these charge carriers and thus decreases overall current production. Therefore, the electron-hole recombination dominates, rather than other loss mechanisms like reflection, increased resistance due to temperature, or increased resistance between connecting wires.
