What are Cadmium Telluride Solar Cells? (2024)

Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is a second-generation solar cell used in thin solar panel technology that maximizes the efficiency of converting solar radiation into electricity. In 1972, Bonnet and Rabenhorst were the first to develop the CdS/CdTe, heterojunction that eventually led to the manufacturing of CdTe solar cells.
