abstract = {Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells are investigated by luminescence
measurements. We construct the current vs. internal voltage
characteristics of these devices from the luminescence
intensity at different voltage and light bias conditions. A
comparison of these characteristics to electrically measured
current vs. voltage curves unveils an internal resistance
loss that is strongly dependent on voltage bias and
illumination. Especially, we find significant residual
luminescence for the device under short circuit conditions.
Numerical device simulations reveal that this effect is
caused by a drop of the electron Quasi-Fermi-level within
the space charge region of the absorber material. We use a
modified equivalent circuit model to describe the observed
behavior in terms of simple equations. We show that such a
voltage dependent series resistance leads to a violation of
a linear network theorem which under standard circumstances
provides a useful method for the determination of the
photocurrent collection efficiency. An analysis of resistive
and recombination losses in the devices demonstrates that
the internal voltage dependent series resistance causes an
efficiency loss of about 1.3 $\%$ (absolute) for a device
with an efficiency 13.4 $\%.$ Finally, we show that the
observed behavior is general feature of charge carrier
separation in solar cells with finite charge carrier
mobility and that the intensity of the residual sort circuit
luminescence provides valuable information on the efficiency
of this process.},
