The space radiation environment causes gradual solar cells performance degradation, thus limiting the lifetime of the solar array. In planning a space mission, engineers need to know the expected cell degradation in the space radiation environment, so a degradation model is required to predict the behaviors of solar cells in space.

Effects of displacement defects The main importance of the displacement defects produced by the irradiation ofsilicon solar cells is in their effect on the minority carrier lifetime of thesilicon. In particular, the lifetime in the bulk p-type of an n/p solar cell isthe major radiation sensitive parameter.
When solar cells are used in outer space or in Lunar or Martian environments, they are subject to bombardment by high-energy particles, which induce a degradation referred to as radiation damage. Radiation tolerance (or hardness) of this UT Si PV technology is not well understood.
