So far, solar cells based on polycrystalline cadmium selenide telluride (CdSeTe) have actually shown some crucial constraints, despite their low construction costs as well as useful qualities. Most notably, these solar cells display higher voltage losses than other mature photovoltaic or pv innovations (crystalline silicon, for example) as well as this considerably hinders their efficiency and also performance.

A timely reaction to the worldwide need for clean energy has actually originated from universities as well as research centres like Colorado State University (CSU), the Wright Center for Photovoltaics at the University of Toledo, as well as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in addition to US-based industrial solar business working with Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar panel production, which have joined pressures to develop the UNITED STATE Production of Advanced Cadmium Telluride (US-MAC) photovoltaics consortium.
