The United States is the leader in cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing, and NLR has been at the forefront of research and development in this area. PV solar cells based on CdTe represent the largest segment of commercial thin-film module production worldwide.
1. Introduction Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells have many advantages, including a low-temperature coefficient (−0.25 %/°C), excellent performance under weak light conditions, high absorption coefficient (105 cm⁻ 1), and stability in high-temperature environments.
Cadmium telluride (CdTe)-based cells have emerged as the leading commercialized thin film photovoltaic technology and has intrinsically better temperature coefficients, energy yield, and degradation rates than Si technologies.
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.
