Power on Plastic: Project Profile

Abstract:

<p>The objectives of this project are: <bl> <li>To demonstrate the technical feasibility of manufacturing a dye-sensitised solar cell (DSC) on a flexible substrate, using processes compatible with volume production.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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 (1.5AM).</li> <li>To develop the diagnostic (i.e illumination, measurement, analytical and accelerated keeping) capabilities to meet these challenges/</li> </bl></p> This profile contains information on the project's: <bl> <li>Objectives</li> <li>Summary</li> <li>Contractor</li> <li>Collaborators</li> <li>Cost</li> <li>Duration</li> </bl>
