Research abstract

CdTe solar cell technology is one of the most advanced terrestrial thin film photovoltaic technologies of today. CdTe devices with over 15% conversion efficiency has been demonstrated and large area modules have been successfully fabricated. CdTe cells have a "superstrate" device configuration and they have been commonly fabricated on rigid glass substrates. To be able to adapt this very promising thin film photovoltaic technology for space applications low-weight and preferably flexible substrates need to be developed. This project proposes to demonstrate a flexible thin film CdTe solar cell with high power density and high efficiency.
