Cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell is a kind of thin-film solar cell. It is both cost-effective and commercially viable. CdTe has a high value of optical absorption coefficient with good chemical stability and bandgap of 1.5 eV. The properties of CdTe make it the most attractive material for thin-film solar cell design.
As a result, its performance usually ranges between 9% and 11%. The cadmium component of solar cells, on the other hand, raises environmental concerns. Cadmium is a heavy metal that can accumulate in humans, animals, and plants, making it potentially toxic.
When integrating different types of PV modules into a building window or glazing façade, the variation of thermo-optical (e.g. emissivity, solar and visible) transmittance of the glazing material will affect the fraction of absorbed, transmitted and re-radiated solar radiation, as well as the amount of penetrating daylight.
As previously mentioned, CdTe has a 1.45 eV direct bandgap and a high absorption coefficient of over 5 × 10 15 /cm . As a result, its performance usually ranges between 9% and 11%. The cadmium component of solar cells, on the other hand, raises environmental concerns.
