Cadmium Telluride: Characteristics and advantages
Cadmium telluride thin films solar cells offer the advantage of easy production, short cycle time and the possibility of recycling the cell after its life span. CdTe films have many benefits and are now being used in a variety of industries.
The current State of the Photovoltaic Industry
As the market for photovoltaics is maturing, there are many products that compete. There is no suspense in the battle for product of thin film and crystal silica. The cost of thin film products is falling and it will become difficult for them to be competitive. There won’t even be a market place for those products if they are not competitive. Longyan Energy’s thin-film modules have an average efficiency exceeding 12.5%. The average output power is over 80W. This compares to domestic crystalline silicon component efficiency which has been more than 17% in recent years. High-efficiency single crystal components have increased in efficiency by more than 20% over the past few years. The power output has also increased to 400W. The American thin-film manufacturer First Solar was the first to produce CdTe cells. The technology has been around for a while.
CdTe thinfilm cells have a lab efficiency above 22.1%. Its component efficiency was about 19.5%. First Solar holds a lead in the area of cadmium thin films, and is even considered a monopoly. China’s development of cadmium thin film is therefore a backward step.
Cadmium-Teluride Films in the Future
The development of cadmium Telluride Film is being slowed, but it’s still one the most established thin-film power generator technologies. With a theoretical efficiency of nearly 30% higher than that of crystal silicon cells, an easier process than those cells, as well as advantages like flexibility and high temperatures performance, Cadmium telluride film has great potential to develop in the future. To ensure that the domestic cadmium thin film industry continues to thrive, it’s important to fully understand the benefits and features of this thin film. Reduce production costs by doing so in an efficient manner, realizing localization of production equipment quickly and continuing to innovate to lower production costs. Second, the flexible nature of cadmium Telluride Film will allow it to be turned into other market segments such as curtains walls, car roofs charging kits and backpacks. Third, make sure that recycling is done well to minimize environmental pollution.
