BIPV
DSSC's can also be integrated in building materials to provide electricity at point of consumption and increase the energy efficiency of buildings.
DSSC's perform well from any angle of illumination, the cells are particularly suitable for facades and can cover surfaces in a variety of structures, including buildings, bus shelters, and outdoor furniture.
In the future DSSC's may be produced in different colours, both opaque and translucent, which will give architects and engineers wider flexibility in integrating renewable energy solutions into their designs. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic's (BIPV) market has the potential to be worth several billions of dollars with the potential to be one of the fastest growing market segments for SolarPrint.
