<strong>of</strong> 0.5 V. At a terminal voltage <strong>of</strong> 0.505 V <strong>and</strong> above, the device is actually dissipating<br />
power in the regions <strong>of</strong> defect clusters. A comparison <strong>of</strong> Figure 5.7 with Figure 5.5 shows<br />
that the dissipation regions correspond to the defect clusters.<br />

A combination <strong>of</strong> theory <strong>and</strong> experiment was used to determine the loss in the<br />
efficiency <strong>of</strong> a me-Si <strong>solar</strong> cell due to defect clusters. Several salient results <strong>of</strong> this<br />
analysis are:
