OverviewMarket viabilityBackgroundHistoryTechnologyMaterialsRecyclingEnvironmental and health impact

Success of cadmium telluride PV has been due to the low cost achievable with the CdTe technology, made possible by combining adequate efficiency with lower module area costs. Direct manufacturing cost for CdTe PV modules reached $0.57 per watt in 2013, and capital cost per new watt of capacity was about $0.9 per watt (including land and buildings) in 2008.

4 FAQs about Philippines Cebu non-standard solar glass cadmium telluride

What is the cadmium telluride PV perspective paper?

SETO released the Cadmium Telluride PV Perspective Paper in January 2025, outlining the state of CdTe PV technology and SETO’s priorities to reduce costs, address materials availability, and support the scale-up of CdTe within the domestic utility-scale PV market. A large-scale solar array in Colorado with CdTe modules.

Are polyimide solar cells better than glass?

The solar cells achieved an efficiency of 11 %. However, polyimide (PI) is less thermally stable compared to glass and may exhibit thermal expansion, which can cause delamination and degradation of the device. PI is also more susceptible to moisture and oxygen, which can degrade the effectiveness of the flexible CdTe solar cells . Fig. 4.

Which glass substrate is used in the production of CdTe solar cells?

Rigid glass substrates, such as soda-lime glass (SLG) [, , ] or borosilicate glass , have been traditionally applied in the production process of CdTe solar cells and are widely used among researchers.

Are CdTe solar panels durable?

The exploration of CdTe solar panels was further continued in 2010 when Korea University introduced a new type of flexible substrate that was made from a polymer called polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) . PEN was identified to be durable with acceptable thermal stability as compared to the other flexible substrates.
