Among the armoury of photovoltaic materials, thin film heterojunction photovoltaics continue
to be a promising candidate for solar energy conversion delivering a vast scope in terms of …

S-shaped current-voltage (IV) characteristics are a frequently occurring hurdle in the
development of new solar cell material combinations and device architectures. Their …

Sublimated thin-film CdTe photovoltaic devices with conversion efficiencies over 18% and a
fill-factor greater than 79% have been repeatedly obtained using high-rate fabrication …

The recent literature regarding the stability of CdTe/CdS photovoltaic cells (as distinguished
from modules) is reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the role of Cu as a major factor …

The CdTe/CdS thin film solar cell is the most suitable to be fabricated on the form of thin
films. The processes used to make all the films, which compose the cell, are quite simple …

The CdTe/CdS thin film solar cells can be most conveniently fabricated in the form of thin
films. Solar cells based on CdTe have been studied for several years now and the …

CdTe is the leading commercial thin film photovoltaic technology with current record
laboratory efficiency (22.1%). However, there is much potential for progress toward the …

There has been an increasing demand for green energy due to the negative impact of global
warming on the environment and life. This has necessitated the fabrication of different …

The present study analyses the degradation of thin film photovoltaic modules corresponding
to four technologies: a-Si: H, a-Si: H/μc-Si: H, CIS and CdTe, under 5 years of outdoor long …

CdTe/CdS solar cells were subjected to heat stress at 200° C in the dark under different
environments (in N2 and in air), and under illumination (in N2). We postulate that two …
