Defects and degradation are important issues for low cost photovoltaics. Laterally resolving imaging techniques have already proven their ability for resolving the location of performance decreasing problems. A one to one correlation between physical defect types and imaging measurement features cannot be established on a single imaging method alone. However, a combination of several measurement methods is suitable to distinguish different defect types. We classify defects by their electrical properties and correlate them with three different imaging techniques by simulation and experiment. The imaging techniques investigated are Electroluminescence Imaging, Light-Beam Induced Current mapping and Dark Lock-In Thermography. Our software is based on electrical simulations of a resistive network of diodes. The locally resolved current and voltage distributions are used for computing. We simulate a variety of defect types and correlate their electrical properties to fingerprints of the imaging methods. We confirm our findings by comparing with experiments with artificially induced defects and observe good agreement of the defect patterns.
