The BO-LID generation is speed up by carrier injection level. However, it is also affected by doping level and temperature. That’s why we are lucky today, most of us is doing carrier induced regeneration during PERC process in our products.  Is it the same scenario on LeTID Is it affected by carrier injection density, dopant concentration and temperature.  If yes, we can only choose a reasonable injection level seen in the field.  Can we clearly distinguish LID BO-LID and LeTID by measurement method I suppose not.  Is 1A or 0.1sun appropriate for LeTID testing distinguish When the module is illuminated by 0.1 sun, what about the temperature Is it around 50℃ Does LeTID actually occur below 50℃  If we are using 10A or 1sun for LeTID testing, the temperature will be/maybe 75 The BO will be regenerated, that’s actually the carrier induced regeneration we are doing in industry. The process is also helpful for anti-LeTID.  So again can we distinguish BO-LID and LeTID  Do we really need a standard for module or cells It takes extra 1000hours to finish a testing. The cost is high.
