In this report we present the effects of 1 MeV-electron irradiation on i a-Si:H films and solar cells. It is observed that in the dose range of 1.4-8.4 x 10(15) cm(-2) the defect creation has not reached its saturation level and the metastable defects caused by the irradiation cannot be completely removed by a two hour annealing at 200 degrees C for i a-Si:H films or at 130 degrees C for a-Si:H solar cells. The results may be understood in terms of a model based on two kinds of metastable defects created by 1 MeV-electron irradiation
