Technical FAQs 4

What is the open-circuit voltage of cdsete/CdTe solar cells?

Abstract: The open-circuit voltage ( V OC ) of polycrystalline state-of-the-art, arsenic-doped CdSeTe/CdTe solar cells has reached 917 mV, and the record cell efficiency has been gradually increasing.

How many MV does a CdTe solar cell have?

As a result, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) corresponding to world-record-efficiency CdTe solar cells has stagnated between 840 and 880 mV over the past two decades 30. Top experimental cells have reached 903 mV (ref. 31), but most devices have Voc between 800 and 850 mV.

Does CdTe/CdS interface affect the performance of solar cells?

The analyzed solar cells had a CdS window layer deposited with different S/Cd proportions. The alterations of the CdTe/CdS interface can affect the performance, in addition to the back contact. Exposure of the cells to the external environment can produce oxidation of the semiconductor and metal contacts used in solar cells [ 74 ].

What is the superstrate configuration of CdTe solar cell?

The traditional superstrate configuration of a CdTe solar cell consists of: glass, transparent conductive oxide (TCO) + high resistivity transparent layers, windows layer (CdS), absorber (CdTe), and back contact (Cu + metal).
