Material science researchers have been studying potential ways to use or combine the naturally occurring perovskite and cadmium telluride semiconductors to improve solar cell efficiency for years.

CdTe solar cells are made by using p–n heterojunctions containing a p-doped Cadmium Telluride layer and an n-doped Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) layer, which may also be made out of magnesium zinc oxide (MZO). While these materials are cheap, they can also be toxic and pollutant when.

A standard 1 HP (horsepower) water pump typically requires between 800 to 1200 watts of solar panels. This usually translates to three 400W panels or twelve 100W panels. The exact number depends on the pump type (AC or DC), its efficiency, and your location's sunlight conditions.
