cadmium telluride solar cell, a photovoltaic device that produces electricity from light by using a thin film of cadmium telluride (CdTe). CdTe solar cells differ from crystalline silicon photovoltaic technologies in that they use a smaller amount of semiconductor —a thin film—to convert absorbed light energy into electrons.
Better optical designs and enhanced recovery of tellurium may boost the potential for large-scale energy production from thin-film cadmium telluride solar cells. For decades, the material associated with photovoltaic (PV) cells has been silicon.
The major advantage of this technology is that the panels can manufactured at lower costs than silicon based solar panels. First Solar was the first manufacturer of Cadmium telluride panels to produced solar cells for less than $1.00 per watt. Some experts believe it will be possible to get the solar cell costs down to around $0.5 per watt.
Continued improvements in cadmium telluride technology are pushing closer to CdTe’s theoretical efficiency of above 30%. Regarding costs, CdTe solar cells are generally cheaper to produce than silicon-based cells, with prices around $0.46 per watt.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
