Cadmium telluride vs. crystalline silicon in agrivoltaics

Canadian researchers investigated how the transparency of cadmium telluride and crystalline silicon solar panels affects lettuce growth in agrivoltaic systems. They found that 69%-transparent silicon panels increased lettuce yield by 3.6%, whereas cadmium telluride panels led to a reduction in yield.Researchers from Western University in Canada have examined how the transparency of photovoltaic panels influences lettuce cultivation in agrivoltaic systems. The team grew valley heart lettuce under different lighting conditions: uniform illumination from cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film PV panels, ...
