OverviewHistoryBackgroundTechnologyMaterialsRecyclingEnvironmental and health impactMarket viability

Research in CdTe dates back to the 1950s, because its band gap (~1.5 eV) is almost a perfect match to the distribution of photons in the solar spectrum in terms of conversion to electricity. A simple heterojunction design evolved in which p-type CdTe was matched with n-type cadmium sulfide (CdS). The cell was completed by adding top and bottom contacts. Early leaders in CdS/CdTe cel

Cadmium Telluride

CdTe is a material made from the combination of two elements: Cadmium (Cd) and Tellurium (Te). It plays a critical role of light absorption—hence why a CdTe solar cell is named after it.
