Dyesol Exceeds Stringent PV Durability Test by 400 per cent
Queanbeyan, Australia, 28 May 2013 - Australian 'clean-tech' company and
Dye Solar Cell industry leader, Dyesol Limited (ASX: DYE) (OTCQX: DYSOY)
(FWB: D5I), today announced its solar-enabling technology has exceeded a
key international photovoltaic industry standard test for long-term
durability by 400 per cent.
Speaking at the European Materials Research Society Conference in
Strasbourg, France, Dyesol Chief Scientist, Dr Hans Desilvestro, explained
that the 'gold-standard' of novel photovoltaic device development is
certification by an international standard such as IEC 61646, where one of
the harsher tests requires product stability at a constant temperature of
85 C for over 1000 hours.
Today, Dr Desilvestro announced: 'Dyesol has tested its industrially
scalable Dye Solar Cell materials and the material set maintained over 90%
of initial performance after an extremely stressful test of 5000 hours at a
constant temperature of 85 C.'
'Our Dye Solar Cell technology has exceeded the time required under one of
the most stringent IEC durability tests by 400 per cent!'
This is another significant result for Dyesol, following the recently
announced major breakthrough in solid state DSC energy output efficiency
performance (visit Dyesol website to read corporate news: 'Dyesol Achieves
Technical Breakthrough in Solid State DSC' for more information).
Today's announcement relates to the liquid-based DSC system and the Company
is also moving forward with similar evaluations for the solid state DSC
system. Dyesol and its R&D collaboration partners will continue to develop
liquid-based and solid-state technologies in parallel to suit applications
most relevant to their specific attributes.
Dye Solar Cell technology is a third generation photovoltaic and
nanotechnology which is printed onto glass, metal or plastic substrates in
a series of very thin layers - many times thinner than a human hair. The
technology can be transparent or opaque, and a number of colour options are
possible. On glass, Dye Solar Cell technology can appear like a modern
stained glass window - the value-add being it produces clean energy right
at the point of consumption.
Key markets for Dye Solar Cell technology include: Building Integrated
Photovoltaics (BIPV), consumer electronics, and remote sensors.
The European Materials Research Society Spring 2013 Conference is an
important scientific and industry event and opportune venue for Dyesol to
present these exciting long-term durability results.

About Dye Solar Cell Technology
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. The term 'mesoscopic solar
cells' may also be substituted to reflect further advances in the
technology, particularly where a perovskite is substituted for dye as a
sensitiser. 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.
