It considers three different phenomena which influence the net free carrier concentration (doping, recombination, and compensation), by assigning them a generic defect level. The model has been successfully tested by simulating JV measurements in dark and light of simple CdS/CdTe devices treated with different CdCl2 and CHClF2-treatments and showing different efficiencies. We found that the obtained defect profiles vary with different treatments as expected, and the results are in good agreement with the literature reports. This indicates that the model may be useful as a simple method for studying and optimizing thin-film solar cells.
