ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea lā o CdTe i ka mālamalama haʻahaʻa a me ka malu ma muli o ko lākou ākea ākea. Me ka 80% malu, e mau ana ka mana o CdTe. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka silikona monocrystalline i ka mālamalama o ka lā, a ʻo ka uhi ʻana ma luna o 20% e hōʻemi nui i kāna hoʻopuka ma muli o kona ʻike ʻana i ke kihi māmā a me ka malu.

Hōʻike ʻia ke aniani solar CdTe i kahi ʻano aniani ʻelua me nā interlayers PVB ʻelua, e hāʻawi ana i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka hopena o ka hopena, ka paʻa o ke kūkulu ʻana, a me ka hoʻopaneʻe ahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi - e lilo ia i mea kūpono no nā noi hale kūkulu ʻia (BIPV). Ma ka hoʻohālikelike, hilinaʻi pinepine nā modula silicon monocrystalline i nā hoʻolālā aniani hoʻokahi a me ka encapsulation EVA, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana ma lalo o ka wela a me ka haʻahaʻa, a hāʻawi i ka hana nāwaliwali i ka palekana ahi a me ka lōʻihi lōʻihi.

Hiki i ka ʻenehana kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻoniʻoni ʻo CdTe ke hoʻouna ʻana i nā kukui ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, e kūpono ana ia no nā noi nui e like me nā skylights a me nā facades, kahi e pono ai ka hana mana a me ka hoʻopiʻi nani. ʻO ke silika monocrystalline, ma muli o kona ʻano hana a me ke kūʻai ʻana, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a ʻaʻole kūpono i nā noi e pono ai ka transmittance māmā.
