How does water play a role in degrading a solar cell? Rishi Kumar is finding answers to that question through his research. His research in the lab of Professor David Fenning aims to understand how water causes solar cells to lose efficiency. Kumar is developing a method to measure exactly how much water is inside a solar cell without taking it apart.
Kumar describes his project in this video, taken at NanoXpo 2018 this past May:
Poster title: "Understanding & Overcoming Water-Induced Interfacial Degradation in Si Modules"
NanoXpo is an annual event held by the Graduate Society of Nanoengineers to showcase graduate research in the UC San Diego Department of NanoEngineering.
