Abstract
This paper discusses experiments and analyses of technical, economic and environmental issues relating to CdTe n-i-p solar cells and their potential to satisfy the DOE PV program goals. The basic cell structure is CdS-CdTe-ZnTe. Included is an experimental and theoretical study of the operation of these devices. Experiments related to deposition of the CdS and ZnTe layers, cascaded solar cells, and module fabrication are described. Manufacturing issues relating to costs, worker safety, and environmental security are discussed. 40 refs., 25 figs., 16 tabs.Keywords
