Thin-Film Solar Panels: An In-Depth Guide | Types, Pros & Cons

Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) Thin-Film Panels. Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar technology was introduced to the world in 1972 by Bonnet, D. and Rabenhorst, H. when they evaluated a Cadmium sulfide (CdS)/CdTe heterojunction which delivered a 6% efficiency. The technology has been improved to reduce manufacturing costs and increase efficiency.
