摘要：

We consider effects of nonuniformities on thin film photovoltaics where microscopic parameters vary between different local regions. Our experimental data on polycrystalline CdTe/CdS PV cell reveal nonuniformities of different space scales. A related theoretical problem of macroscopic parameters in randomly nonuniform thin film PV cell is solved in the effective medium approximation. The effective open circuit voltage and correlation length in the are calculated. The theory predicts hot spots caused by local currents circulating in the system under open circuit conditions.
