This work (SHJ 75 cells)

  1. The normalized VOC and JSC values are extracted for the convenience of the cell-to-module CTM calculation. From Records 1 to 9, the data for sourcing come from Martin Green’s “Table” (versions 39, 42, 47, 48, 49, 62, 63, 64, and 65, respectively). The LONGi module based on HTBC was measured at the ISE, not by the NREL, as previously reported.
