The thickness of CdTe can be reduced without affecting the efficiency significantly. CdTe photovoltaic solar cells with single and double absorber layers of ultrathin layers have enhanced efficiencies and reduced costs. It is necessary to improve how these solar cells absorb light.
CdTe photovoltaic solar cells with single and double absorber layers of ultrathin layers have enhanced efficiencies and reduced costs. It is necessary to improve how these solar cells absorb light. Making the layer narrower can help to cut down on the amount of material required, as well as costs related to fabrication.
While designing a CdS/CdTe solar cell, a buffer layer of CdS (Eg = 2.45 eV) is mostly grown by CBD technique on a soda lime, ITO and FTO glass substrates, and the absorber layer of CdTe is deposited mainly by CSS technique [31, 32, 33, 34, 35]. Finally, a back contact is needed to complete the structure of a CdTe solar cell.
CdTe-based solar cell has been fabricated using various techniques such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), vapor transport deposition (VTD) and close space sublimation (CSS) . The maximum efficiency obtained by first CdTe-based solar cell is 22.1%. Structure of first CdTe-based solar was FTO/buffer/CdSeTe/CdTe/ZnTe/metal .
Currently Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is a promising and potential absorber material to use in solar cell due to reliable cost and highly efficient solar cell. In this work, amorphous silicon (a-Si) as
