This paper summarizes SCI’s continuing effort in the improvement of large‐area CdS/CdTe module performance through process optimization. Alternative methods to the conventional CdCl2 heat treatment have been developed. Comprehensive accelerated stress tests have demonstrated satisfactory stability on cells and modules of different sizes.
