Free QuoteA utility-scale installation of cadmium telluride solar photovoltaic panels. First Solar, Inc. Cadmium telluride solar photovoltaics (PV) are a key clean energy technology that was developed in the United States, has a substantial and growing U.S. manufacturing base, and holds more than a 30% share of the U.S. utility-scale PV market.
The Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) PV Perspective Paper (PDF) describes the state of CdTe PV technology and provides the perspective of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO).
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film PV modules are the primary thin film product on the global market, with more than 30 GW peak (GWp) generating capacity representing many millions of modules installed worldwide, primarily in utility-scale power plants in the US.
The incorporation of zinc or magnesium to form cadmium zine telluride (CdZnTe) and cadmium magnesium telluride (CdMgTe) represents a possible way to move the bandgap into a viable regime for tandem incorporation, but using these materials introduces processing challenges that have thus far prevented their use in high-throughput manufacturing.
Herein we have reviewed the developments in the cell technology that has enabled CdTe solar modules to emerge as the highest-production thin film photovoltaic technology.
Today's benchmarks for CdTe thin film solar cell and module performance are defined by First Solar, with certified record cell PCE = 22.1 ± 0.5% and module aperture area PCE = 19.5% [1, 58]. The 22.1% record cell device parameters are V OC = 0.887 V, J SC = 31.69 mA/cm 2, and FF = 78.5% .
