| Objectives | It is believed that the performance of PDSCs can be further improved so that with their low cost and robustness, they compete successfully with a-Si systems in more traditional markets.This work builds on a previous LINK project involving JM, Imperial College, London and Cambridge University. Total project cost = 954000, DTI grant = 65476 | |
| Abstract | To demonstrate the technical feasibility of manufacturing a dye-sensitised solar cell (DSC)on a flexible substrate, using processes compatible with volume production. A performance target is to achieve bench-scale single cell efficiencies of 5 at illumination levels approaching 1 Sun (AM1.5) with short term durability. The durability of dye-sensitised solar cells is a recognised issue and needs to be compatible with end use. Cell lifetime will be one of the principal issues addressed in this project. To make a prototype module of solar cells using pilot scale manufacturing processes that has an efficiency of at least 4 at illumination levels approaching 0.5 Sun (AM1.5). To develop the diagnostic (i.e. illumination, measurement, analytical and accelerated keeping) capabilities to meet these challenges. | |
