摘要：

Shunts in crystalline silicon solar cells can be physically removed and replaced with good cells to eliminate their influences, which is proved by the experiments in this paper. By infrared imaging and laser cutting, the shunted regions near the edges of cell A and in the middle of cell B were identified and removed with their efficiencies increased by 6.8% and 3.0%, respectively. After shunt removal, cell B was patched up with good cells and its final work current further increased from 3.71 to 4.11 A. The result implies that this work could improve the output power and current matching in a module for the repaired cell. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
