Cadmium-Telluride Thin-Film BIPV Glass

Cadmium-telluride thin-film photovoltaic glass is our BIPV product for surfaces that must transmit light or carry colour. It is produced as standard opaque thin-film modules, coloured opaque modules, stone-texture modules at 66 W and 290 W, PV tile modules, hollow translucent modules at 80 W and 210 W, a large-area translucent module, coloured translucent modules at 90 W and 210 W and the translucent XYGPV-CW11/48X. Typical placements are curtain walls, skylights, canopies, railings and façades where daylight has to pass through the generating surface or where a specific colour is required. Transparency, colour and format are specified per project and quoted on request. CdTe glass is combined with crystalline modules on our larger BIPV buildings: the 1.519 MW Jianhu Financial Tower uses 1,224 coloured CdTe thin-film modules at 60 Wp and 240 CdTe elements at 164 W alongside its crystalline double-glass array.
