Cadmium telluride solar cells for space applications, BIPV, unmanned aircraft

U.K. researchers have developed a flexible thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell for use in ultra-thin glass for space applications.Scientists from Swansea University and the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom have developed a flexible thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell for use in ultra-thin glass for space applications. They have tested the performance of the cell for more than three years on a satellite in low earth orbit, in cooperation with the U.K. and Algerian space agencies. "The cell may also be used for terrestrial applications," researcher Dan Lamb told pv ...
