Description:
In this report, concepts and equations are developed to describe the simultaneous radiation damage and annealing of solar cells. The annealing characteristics of three types of defects are employed to study three examples of continuous irradiation and annealing. One example shows that the effective damage could be reduced by a factor of fifty. The difficulty of a laboratory experiment properly simulating the effects in space are discussed. Potential advantages of continuous annealing such as reduction of stable defect formation and omission of radiation cover glasses are presented.
