• solution using a brush. After being dried at room temperature for 20 min, the substrates were thermally annealed using a furnace (L-Series, Jeio Tech Co., South Korea), RTA (RTP-1200, Nextron Co., South Korea), and a gas torch (KT-2211, Kovea Co., South Korea, using butane gas). The length of the flame was

• about 10 cm, the distance between the flame and the specimen was about 5 cm, and the temperature was about 300 °C. In addition, the annealing treatment that uses a gas torch, which can be easily utilized to surfaces of installed or operating PV modules, was applied from one to five times. The contact
