abstract = "Cadmium telluride and silicon are among the widely used absorber materials in photovoltaic industry. A tandem solar cell of these two can absorb significant portion of solar spectrum to yield high efficiency due to the added voltage of the two solar cells. On basis of low-cost production, a CdTe/Si cell has the potential to produce low-cost and high efficiency tandem PV. The CdTe top cell in a substrate configuration is essential to achieve a tandem between CdTe and Si. A functional CdS/CdTe solar cell in the substrate configuration was fabricated on a Si wafer. Current-Voltage measurements show a diode-like curve with lower J-V parameters compared to standard CdS/CdTe cells. SCAPS simulations were performed to identify possible reasons for poor performance and help improve the device performance.",
