%X Revisiting charge transport in degenerate hopping systems we present a modification to the drift diffusion equation where instead of employing the generalized Einstein relation we add an energy flux term thus solving several inconsistencies. This leads also to the conclusion that, contrary to common belief, a constant quasi-Fermi level does not necessarily ensure zero electrical current. While we revisit the drift diffusion process in the context of degenerate hopping systems, a considerable part of the argumentation put forward can be applied generally to degenerate systems.
