# Background  CdTe photovoltaics (PV) is the only thin film technology with lower costs than conventional solar cells made of crystalline silicon in multi-kilowatt systems. In August of 2014, First Solar® was able to accomplish a CdTe solar cell efficiency of nearly 21%. The theoretical upper bound of efficiency, the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit for a PV with a band gap of 1.5 eV (CdTe) is 30%.  This paper discusses the optical and electrical factors that reduce the efficiency of a single junction CdTe PV below the SQ limit and  provides recommendations on closing this 9.0% gap.
