It is worth noting that the transmittance around 1000 nm in the near-infrared region (NIR) is over 70%, which is the highest value among the as-reported semitransparent CdTe solar cells.
More importantly, the NIR transmission of the semitransparent CdTe solar cell reached over 70%. To the best of our knowledge, it is the most transparent reported ultrathin CdTe cell with relatively high efficiency so far.
In this work, semitransparent CdTe solar cells were prepared by utilizing 900-nm-thick ultrathin CdTe absorber and CuCl/ITO transparent back contacts. The ultrathin CdTe in the present work was prepared by magnetron sputtering and the effects of substrate temperature and deposition ambient were extensively investigated.
However, when it was fabricated into a complete device, the AVT of the cell increased to 7.04 %. This means that the transmittance of the CdTe film when converted into a device, not only did not decrease but increased, which is highly beneficial for the BIPV application of the solar cell.
