pvdeg.collection.collection_probability#

pvdeg.collection.collection_probability(x, thickness, s, diffusion_length, d)[source]#

Return the collection probability.

Returns the collection probability (unit 0 to 1) at a distance x (cm) from the junction. See [1].

Parameters:

x (array-like) – array of x positions from a junction to a surface (typically [cm]).
thickness (numeric) – Layer thickness [cm].
s (numeric) – Surface recombination velocity [cm/s].
diffusion_length (numeric) – Minority carrier diffusion length [cm].
d (numeric) – Minority carrier diffusivity [cm²/Vs].

Returns:

cp (array-like) – Collection probability along x.
