Which risk increases when a photovoltaic cell experiences overheating sufficient to induce lattice expansion?

💡 Explanation

Overheating causes increased electron-hole recombination rate because thermal energy excites electrons to higher energy levels, allowing them to drop back down recombining with holes via Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, therefore increasing recombination rather than quantum efficiency because temperature affects band gap causing losses at higher energies.
