Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is the most popular material for manufacturers of thin-film solar panels. Using the EnergySage Marketplace, you can choose from various solar panel installers who can work with different types of thin-film and regular panels. What are thin-film solar panels?
Before comparing the different types of thin-film solar panels against crystalline silicon solar panels (c-Si), it is important to remark that there are two main types, monocrystalline silicon (mono c-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (poly c-Si) solar panels.
In terms of structure, a thin film solar module may be monolithic, integrating all components onto a single sheet. This simplifies design and makes installation faster. How Solar Panel Works plays a role here too: like traditional panels, these convert sunlight into electricity using the photovoltaic effect.
In early 2022, researchers at the University of Surrey successfully increased the energy absorption levels in a thin-film solar panel by 25%, achieving a new record of 21% efficiency. The key differences between thin-film solar panels and standard silicon solar panels are their size, strength, and cost.
