Overview
A new Joule perspective paper is being positioned as a practical roadmap for scaling cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar PV manufacturing, focusing on the technology and supply-chain steps the authors say are needed to reach 100 GW of annual global capacity by 2030, with policy influence and recent manufacturing growth rates treated as key context for the outlook.

Why now
- A new Joule perspective paper sets a 2030 target for CdTe manufacturing capacity
- The analysis references recent CdTe manufacturing growth rates to inform the outlook
- pv magazine amplified the roadmap across global and US editions
Why it matters
- CdTe scale-up could broaden thin-film PV supply if supply-chain constraints are addressed
- Roadmaps can signal where materials and manufacturing bottlenecks may emerge
- Policy is treated as a factor shaping manufacturing growth expectations
