Abstract

The paper discusses the influence of the dose of gamma or neutron radiation on a commercial silicon photovoltaic cell under operating conditions. Before the measurement, the cells were irradiated with electromagnetic gamma radiation or neutron radiation. The examination was carried out experimentally and theoretically. The experiments were performed under well-controlled laboratory conditions. Only licensed instruments were used. The measurement uncertainty of the experimental procedure was less than 5 %.

Key words: silicon solar cell, gamma and neutron radiation, cell efficiency
