Technology

Within a solar panel, which consequence results when a localized defect creates a high-resistance Schottky junction?

A)Hotspot formation and reduced efficiency
B)Increased open-circuit voltage globally
C)Enhanced electron-hole pair separation
D)Overall lower dark current leakage

💡 Explanation

A faulty Schottky junction increases resistance heating; this, because of its diode behavior, causes localized hotspot formation and efficiency loss on the module due to reverse biasing. Therefore, performance degrades, rather than improves, in contrast to efficient electron collection processes.
