Note to editors
The Technology - DYE SOLAR CELLS
DSC technology can best be described as 'artificial photosynthesis' using
an electrolyte, a layer of titania (a pigment used in white paints and
tooth paste) and ruthenium dye deposited on glass, metal or polymer
substrates. Light striking the dye excites electrons which are absorbed by
the titania to become an electric current many times stronger than that
found in natural photosynthesis in plants. Compared to conventional silicon
based photovoltaic technology, Dyesol's technology has lower cost and
embodied energy in manufacture, it produces electricity more efficiently
even in low light conditions and can be directly incorporated into
buildings by replacing conventional glass panels or metal sheets rather
than taking up roof or extra land area.
The Company - DYESOL Limited
Dyesol is located in Queanbeyan NSW (near Canberra) and in August 2005 was
listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX Code 'DYE'). Dyesol
manufactures and supplies a range of dye solar cell products comprising
equipment, chemicals, materials, components and related services to
researchers and manufacturers of DSC. Dyesol has subsidiaries in UK, Italy,
Switzerland, USA, Korea and Singapore plus representatives and agents in
Turkey, Germany, Abu Dhabi, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. The Company is
playing a key role in taking this third generation solar technology from
development into commercial production.
