Abstract

The buffer of standard solar cells restricts the "surface recombination" at the front side. Some typical cell properties linked to the buffer are exposed by numerical simulations: The "blue snake" appearing in small-signal photocharacteristics, the electron inversion layer, the reverse field peak and the satellite space-charge dipole layer. It is possible to base a simulation on the roots of an algebraic equation.
