The incorporation of zinc or magnesium to form cadmium zine telluride (CdZnTe) and cadmium magnesium telluride (CdMgTe) represents a possible way to move the bandgap into a viable regime for tandem incorporation, but using these materials introduces processing challenges that have thus far prevented their use in high-throughput manufacturing.
The streamlined manufacturing process of CdTe photovoltaics can offer certain advantages over that of silicon: an 18.5% efficient CdTe module has about 35% the embodied energy compared to a single-crystal silicon module of the same power rating (144 half-cell bifacial silicon passivated emitter and rear contact module with 21% efficiency).
CdTe is a readily scalable thin-film PV technology for which manufacturing capacity can be rapidly increased, with lower capital expenditure and fewer unit processes compared to silicon. Domestic manufacturing capacity for CdTe is expected to grow more than fourfold by 2026, from 2.8 GWdc in 2022 to 14 GWdc per year.
