A low-cost, scalable chalcogenide semiconductor thin film deposition process, Chemical Bath Deposition, is used to fabricate semi-transparent TiO2 /CdS/CdTe solar cells. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) acts as an absorber and cadmium sulphide (CdS) is the window layer with band gaps of 1.452 ) coated substrate. Insertion of TiO2 layer at front contact between FTO coated glass substrate and CdS; improved CdS/CdTe PV cell performance by reducing the leakage current. This resulted in increase of short circuit current in the device. At the initial stage of development the cell exhibits a voltage of 100.53
