Abstract:

The objectives of this project are:

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 (1.5AM).

To develop the diagnostic (i.e illumination, measurement, analytical and accelerated keeping) capabilities to meet these challenges/
