Abstract
[In this chapter CdTe solar cells are presented as a typical thin-film photovoltaic technology. In the first part we describe their structure and fabrication together with their operation as required for understanding spatial inhomogeneities. A SPICE model of the cell is designed and described. The second part deals with current-voltage and electroluminescence characterisation of a cell. Electroluminescence image properties are explained. Characterisation includes back contact position dependence, forward bias current dependence, temperature dependence, and extracting the resistive parameters of the cell using SPICE simulations.]
