This is really interesting. Could anyone say if the reversal could be done by a layperson, meaning could I take my solar panel and heat it to 200°C in the dark

This is really interesting. Could anyone say if the reversal could be done by a layperson, meaning could I take my solar panel and heat it to 200°C in the dark to anneal it and then the panel will regain some efficiency?

It looks like the reason it happens was identified, and they are able to reverse it on about the time scale in which it occurs, and now the goal is to figure out how to minimize the shallow acceptor light induced defect. My read is re-dark-annealing wont help because it reverses when you use the cell. The conclusions section is a bit less dense: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5091759 https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5091759 I'm still chewing on that green box in fig9.
