Technical FAQs 4

What is cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar glass?

Among the emerging technologies, cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar glass stands out with its high efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and eco-friendly properties, making it a prominent solution for BIPV applications. 1.

Are polyimide solar cells better than glass?

The solar cells achieved an efficiency of 11 %. However, polyimide (PI) is less thermally stable compared to glass and may exhibit thermal expansion, which can cause delamination and degradation of the device. PI is also more susceptible to moisture and oxygen, which can degrade the effectiveness of the flexible CdTe solar cells . Fig. 4.

Which glass substrate is used in the production of CdTe solar cells?

Rigid glass substrates, such as soda-lime glass (SLG) [, , ] or borosilicate glass , have been traditionally applied in the production process of CdTe solar cells and are widely used among researchers.

What is CdTe solar glass?

Widespread use of CdTe solar glass in buildings not only meets the electricity demands of the structure but can also feed surplus energy back into the grid, ensuring optimized energy usage. This high-efficiency energy solution helps reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to the advancement of green buildings. 2.
