Abstract

Solar control coating refers to solar radiation filters applied on glazings of buildings in tropical countries. CdTe thin films were studied in this regard for use as an effective solar control coating. The films were characterized with respect to the film parameters such as film thickness, substrate temperature and deposition rate. On calculating the solar control parameters of various films, it was observed that the solar control parameters of the films depend on the above film parameters. CdTe films were found to be a better solar control coating than the commercial metallic coatings and exhibit comparable characteristics with Cu x S and PbS films.
