Which risk increases when high intensity electromagnetic radiation strikes silicon, exceeding Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit?

💡 Explanation

Increased radiation causes the photoexcited electron-hole pairs to recombine via radiative recombination which releases heat; therefore, the cell's efficiency drops below limits because this energy dissipates rather than contributing to electricity.
