This study introduces a model that describes the behavior of Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS) cells under reverse bias caused by partial shading. The model considers the low and non-Ohmic leakage current and explains the sharp increase in current observed in the CIGS reverse characteristics using the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling effect. The model has been validated against measurements at different temperatures and illumination intensities, and can describe the dependencies of the reverse bias behavior on both temperature and illumination.
Partial shading of PV modules can lead to degradation of the shaded cells. The degradation originates from a reverse bias voltage over the shaded cells. In order to mitigate reverse bias damage in Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS) modules, a good understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing the reverse characteristic is required. In this study, a model is introduced that describes this behavior for CIGS cells. In this model, the low and non-Ohmic leakage current is accounted for by the space charge limited current component. A sharp increase in current that is typically observed in the CIGS reverse characteristics can be described by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. This model has been validated against measurements performed at different temperatures and illumination intensities, and is able to describe the dependencies of the reverse bias behavior on both temperature and illumination.
