Success of cadmium telluride PV has been due to the low cost achievable with the CdTe technology, made possible by combining adequate efficiency with lower module area costs. Direct manufacturing cost for CdTe PV modules reached $0.57 per watt in 2013, and capital cost per new watt of capacity was about $0.9 per watt (including land and buildings) in 2008. Notable systems Utility-scale C. OverviewCadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaics is a (PV) technology based on the use of in a thin layer designed to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity.
