Defects induce deep energy levels in the semiconductor bandgap, which degrade the carrier lifetime and quantum efficiency of solar cells.

Next, we correlate the negative impact of shallow and deep level defects with solar cell performance as the former high density results in fermi-level pinning and the latter imposes NRR. Finally, we discuss the migration of these defects causing unintentional doping effects, anomalous hysteresis, and phase separation.
