In this paper flexible CdTe solar cells made by vacuum evaporation on ultra thin glass and on two different polyimides are presented. Ultra-thin glass is a very promising flexible substrate for CdTe solar cells in superstrate configuration because of it superior transparency. Cell preparation was optimized for each different substrate. Efficiencies exceeding 11% on polyimide and 12% on ultra-thin flexible glass have been achieved.

Abstract

In this paper flexible CdTe solar cells made by vacuum evaporation on ultra thin glass and on two different polyimides are presented. Ultra-thin glass is a very promising flexible substrate for CdTe solar cells in superstrate configuration because of it superior transparency. Cell preparation was optimized for each different substrate. Efficiencies exceeding 11% on polyimide and 12% on ultra-thin flexible glass have been achieved.
