The most common cdte solar cells consist of a simple p n heterojunction structure containing a p doped cdte layer matched with an n doped cadmium sulfide cds layer which acts as a window layer.
Cadium solar panel.
First solar a us based manufacturer makes attractive pv modules that can be used in home applications.
Cadmium telluride cdte solar panels as the second most common photovoltaic technology on the market behind traditional crystalline silicon cadmium telluride cdte panels are already a viable thin film solar panel solution.
Cadmium telluride pv is the only thin film technology with lower costs than conventional solar cells made of crystalline silicon in multi kilowatt systems.
Cadmium telluride cdte is the most common type of thin film solar cell in production.
