“…In contrast to the development of the p/nhomojunction, SС with CdTe heterojunctions have been widely studied since 1960, passing along two paths, in accordance with the type of conductivity of CdTe. For ntype CdTe single crystals and polycrystalline films, the p-type Cu2Te heterojunction was studied [24]. By the early 1970s, the best CdTe/Cu2Te thin-film layers achieved a conversion efficiency of > 7% [25].…”

An analysis of the use of semiconductor solar cells based on thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) in power engineering is carried out. It is shown that the advantages of thin-film technology and CdTe itself as a direct-gap semiconductor open up the prospect of large-scale production of competitive CdTe solar modules. The physical and technical problems of increasing the efficiency of CdS/CdTe heterostructure solar cells, which are significantly inferior to the theoretically possible value in mass production, are discussed. The state of CdTe thin-film solar cells, which make CdTe a suitable material for ground-based photoelectric conversion of solar energy, the historical development of the CdTe compound, the application of CdTe thin films, the main methods and strategies of device production, device analysis and fundamental problems related to the future development of thin-film modules based on cadmium telluride.

Photovoltaic materials are reviewed with regard to their possible use in systems that could provide very large amounts of electric power from the Sun before the end of the century. The key is taken to be the cost of the solar cells which are considered to be presently about two orders of magnitude too high. Only silicon, in single crystal or ribbon form, or CdS in thin-film form are thought to be sufficiently developed to permit their possible large-scale exploitation by the last decade of the century.Silicon is considered to have the advantage over CdS at present for large-scale use because of the higher performance levels and the broader existing technology base. CdS thin films are considered to have greater potential if selected improvements can be effected in design and performance, because of lower projected cost and the ease of automating manufacture.
