RSI has broken cover after five years of development to announce it has created a 1.5 square metre cadmium telluride PV (CdTe) module, twice the size of conventional modules.It says this will enable solar PV modules to be manufactured at a cost of less than 40c/Watt, hastening the charge towards grid parity for solar PV.
Production costs for industry-leading Chinese crystalline-silicon (c-Si) PV module manufacturers were 50 cents per watt in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to a report from GTM Research.
