Thin‐Film Photovoltaics In article number 2000775 , scientists at NREL and First Solar used charge carrier lifetime spectroscopy and microscopy to quantify grain boundary and back‐contact recombination in cadmium telluride solar cells. About 7.5 GW pp CdTe PV will be produced in 2021, which will constitute about 50% of all PV installed in the U.S. in 2021. Results indicate pathways to further improve this leading PV technology.
