When compared to crystalline silicon, what is one of the primary benefits of using candmium telluride in solar cells?

Question

A. It takes up much less space
B. It has a much lower cost
C. It is much more efficient
D. It is a much safer material

Answer 1

B. It has a much lower cost

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells have a lower manufacturing cost compared to crystalline silicon solar cells, making them an attractive option for large-scale solar energy production.
