moreThe effect of high intensity of electric fields on the operation of a single-crystal Si solar cell was investigated in this work. A single-crystal Si solar cell was irradiated by spontaneous and stimulated light sources. Firstly, a triac-lamp having a tungsten filament and green, yellow, red and blue LEDs from the spontaneous light sources were used to irradiate the solar cell exposed to a high-intensity electric field E DC . Later, as a stimulated light source He-Ne laser with l ¼ 633:8 nm and P ¼ 1 mW was utilized, and the behaviour of the solar cell exposed to the electric field E DC ranging from 100 Â 10 3 to 500 Â 10 3 V/m was studied. The results showed that the V oc value of the solar cell irradiated by the two light sources mentioned above decreased due to the electric field. r
