On a lifecycle basis cdte pv has the smallest carbon footprint lowest water use and shortest energy payback time of any current photo voltaic technology.
Cadium solar panel.
Cadmium telluride cdte is the most common type of thin film solar cell in production.
This structure is similar to the heterojunction in cigs cells.
First solar a us based manufacturer makes attractive pv modules that can be used in home applications.
Cadmium telluride cdte photovoltaics or also called cadmium telluride solar cell is a kind of photovoltaic pv technology that can produce electricity from sunlight using a thin film of compound cadmium telluride to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity.
