Solar cells are semiconductor-based devices primarily, which convert sunlight directly to electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect, which is the appearance of a voltage and current when light is incident on a material.The photovoltaic effect was first reported by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, who observed a voltage and current resulting from light incident
increasing the active layer area of cells can increase the series resistance, may be due to the bigger area of the transparent conducting oxide (ITO/FTO) from your active layer area.

Perovskite solar cells have reached certified power conversion efficiency over 25%, enabling the realization of efficient large-area modules and even solar farms.

Abstract The present study evaluates the sensibility of photovoltaics cells relative to changes in temperature. To determine the total energy loss of the photovoltaic cells, the experimental aspect uses the single exponential model. The series resistance and dark saturation current are determined with the current–voltage curves in a dark forward bias condition using a
In reverse bias condition, For ideal solar cell, series resistance must be zero as explained earlier and shunt resistance must be infinite. For better performance of solar cell, the series resistance must be kept as minimum as possible and the shunt resistance must be as large as possible. In commercial solar cell, the shunt resistance is very large and is neglected in
Despite demonstrating reverse-bias resilience under test conditions, perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells can break down at much lower reverse biases outdoors, such as when they operate under red-rich spectra or in hot climates. The reverse-bias issues occurring in poor cells are apparent when the string operates near short circuit or with its
However, we highlighted that the tandem solar cells' resistance to the reverse bias is not universal but depends on the electrical and optical design of the device. In fact, the protection from silicon is effective if the bottom cell features a breakdown voltage in the range of −40 V along with a high shunt resistance.
The loss mechanism of the shunt path increases the leakage current which is higher than that of the ideal diode. This effect affects the J-V characteristics of the solar cells [, , , , , , ]. So, if the shunt resistance is reduced, the PSCs will be much more stable and get better efficiency at lower illumination.

In practice, the reverse-bias issue is encountered in solar modules under partial shading, where the shaded cell is forced into reverse bias in an attempt to pass the photocurrent of its unshaded and series-connected neighbors.
Here, the robustness of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells to reverse bias electrical degradation down to −40 V is investigated. The two-terminal tandem configuration, with the perovskite coupled to silicon, can improve the solar cell resistance to severe negative voltages when the tandem device is properly designed.
Therefore, the largest reverse bias that could be experienced by a shadowed cell will be ≈−38 V (assuming a Voc of 2 V for each cell). Therefore, a reverse bias experiment at −40 V as shown in this work could be a good figure of merit for the development of shadow-resilient tandem solar modules.
