  • Abstract
    The degradation of solar cells leads to the modification of charge carriers transport mechanism. This is accompanied by the changes of I-V characteristic of solar cells. So, in this work the measurements of I-V characteristics and analysis of the charge carriers transport mechanisms in silicon solar cells after long-term exploitation in near-Earth orbit were carried out.
