Indian Supplier Visits TERLI to Compare Monocrystalline and CdTe Solar Glass for Local Market

TERLI welcomed a building materials supplier from India for an in-depth technical visit. While researching keywords like “solar glass for buildings” and “BIPV solutions” on Google, the client discovered TERLI's offerings and became particularly interested in understanding the differences between two major solar glass technologies: monocrystalline silicon solar glass and CdTe (cadmium telluride) thin-film solar glass.

✅Visit to TERLI's Solar Glass

To gain a clearer picture of the suitability of each solution for the Indian market, the client arranged a site visit to TERLI's facility. After touring the automated CdTe production line, TERLI's R&D and sales teams delivered a comprehensive comparison between the two technologies, focusing on key aspects such as conversion efficiency, visual integration, temperature performance, and low-light responsiveness.

✅Why CdTe Solar Glass

TERLI emphasized that CdTe solar glass is especially well-suited to India's challenging climate conditions—characterized by high temperatures, intense sunlight, dusty environments, and large day-night temperature fluctuations—offering key advantages such as:

· Superior low-light performance, ideal for mornings and overcast days

· Low temperature coefficient, ensuring stable output under high heat

· Lightweight and easy to integrate into building envelopes

· Uniform aesthetics, supporting modern architectural styles

· Class A fire safety rating, essential for commercial and public buildings

· 100% recyclable materials, supporting green certification goals

✅Detailed Session

After the detailed session, the client noted that the visit had completely reshaped his understanding of solar building materials. He expressed strong interest in introducing CdTe solar glass into the Indian market, particularly for urban commercial facades, premium residential buildings, and green-certified new construction.

TERLI looks forward to building a long-term partnership with local Indian suppliers to advance CdTe-based BIPV adoption across South Asia and contribute to the region's transition toward carbon-neutral architecture.
