Thin-film solar cells are a type of made by depositing one or more thin layers ( or TFs) of material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers () to a few microns () thick–much thinner than the used in conventional (c-Si) based solar cells, which can be up to 200 μm thick. Thi.

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.
