Rapid Deposition Technology Holds the Key for the World's Largest Solar Manufacturer (Fact Sheet)

Rapid Deposition Technology Holds the Key for the World's Largest Solar Manufacturer (Fact Sheet)

Research output: NREL › Fact Sheet

Abstract

Thanks in part to years of collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a manufacturer of thin-film solar modules has grown from a small garage-type operation to become the world's largest manufacturer of solar modules. First Solar, Inc. now manufactures cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar modules throughout the world, but it began in Ohio as a small company called Solar Cells,Inc.
