CdTe (Cadmium telluride) technology exhibits some of the least environmental impact among solar cell technologies in India, according to a study by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.

It has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions, ozone depletion potential, human health effects, and particulate air pollution.

It was one of five solar cell technologies on which the IIT scientists conducted a life-cycle assessment (LCA) to identify the most sustainable options for solar energy production in India.

The other four were mono-silicon, polysilicon, Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS), and Passivated Emitter & Rear Contact (PERC).
