Get PriceIntroduction Thin film photovoltaic (PV) technologies often utilize monolithic integration to combine cells into modules. This is an approach whereby thin, electronically-active layers are deposited onto inexpensive substrates (e.g. glass) and then interconnected cells are formed by subsequent back contact processes and scribing.
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.
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.
CdTe is a readily scalable thin-film PV technology for which manufacturing capacity can be rapidly increased, with lower capital expenditure and fewer unit processes compared to silicon. Domestic manufacturing capacity for CdTe is expected to grow more than fourfold by 2026, from 2.8 GWdc in 2022 to 14 GWdc per year.
Artist's conception of high-rate VTD system for large scale CdTe PV module manufacturing, showing glass to be coated moving under the apparatus from lower right to upper left, while the CdTe feedstock (shown in green) is continually fed from hoppers into the hot zone of the deposition apparatus which spans the entire width of the glass.
The majority of contemporary Si modules utilize polymer/plastic backsheets which can also release toxic and carcinogenic substances under conditions of incomplete combustion. It is important to consider such secondary risks of CdTe photovoltaics not in isolation but in the context of other points of comparison.
