20 April 2016: New PV modules from cadmium telluride cheaper and more efficient than those made from silicon. Despite world wide new producers made silicon modules very cheap a new and tested invention, the cadmium telluride thin-film cell may be a victorious competitor in the future. Scientists from US company First Solar have topped with an efficiency of 22,1 – better than the efficiency of the best silicon cell. US First Solar announced that already in the end of 2015 the prices of their cadmium telluride cells were lower than the prices from cheap Chinese poly silicon producers. http://green.wiwo.de/photovoltaik-duennschicht-module-werden-guenstiger-und-effizienter-als-silizium/
