"SolarPrint’s Solution"
SolarPrint has consistently developed its DSSC technology in an incremental fashion going from the lab into pilot production, from small cells to modules, developing scalable processes and reproducible production steps in a very short period of time.
The key technical challenges that SolarPrint has addressed for the commercialisation of DSSC are:
- Power output (performance in low light conditions)
- Product lifetime
- Product reproducibility
- Manufacturability & scalability
In order to suceed in addressing these challenges, a multidisciplinary approach across a whole range of expertise spanning cell chemistry, electrical engineering and process engineering. The core USP of SolarPrint that underpins product development is the focus on maximising power output and improving lifetime of the indoor DSSC product in a scalable way, across the areas of:
- Device Design and Structures
- Materials Synthesis
- Fabrication Processes
The company has built a world class team of highly skilled industry professionals from around the world and has been in pilot production since 2010 at its facility in Sandyford, Dublin.
