Dyesol Confirms Technology Development Partnership with UK SPECIFIC

Dyesol, a thin-film organic photovoltaic (OPV) company, recently resumed its participation in the University of Swansea, Wales, and the SPECIFIC Innovative Product Coatings Sustainable Product Engineering Center to develop and commercialize perovskite organic photovoltaic film products.

Dyesol had previously participated in SPECIFIC with Tata Steel in 2010 to develop and commercialize liquid-based dye-sensitized thin film coatings and laminates for steel roof applications. The relationship with Tata Steel dates back to 2007.

However, Tata Steel withdrew from the program in 2013. Dyesol recently pointed out in its fiscal first quarter results that its early organic photovoltaic materials “had a relatively low performance under low light conditions” and that the European solar roof market was in an early stage of development.

Recently, Dyesol also re-participated and signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Tata Steel, but the film company will be responsible for product development and ultimately sales to its customer base in the future.

Chris Moore, head of the Tata Steel project, commented: “We are greatly encouraged by the latest business development in the UK. Dyesol has been strongly focused on the development of its revolutionary technology for the past seven years and looks forward to achieving it. The UK and European markets are bringing the vision of their third generation of photovoltaics. This technology is universal and the possibility of commercialization is huge.”

PV-Tech recently revealed that Dyesol is conducting a technical and product planning review, which includes a prototype and pilot line phase and is expected to end in 2016 and 2017 respectively. It is said that it will be put into mass production by 2018.

The company anticipates that it will revise its product range to address stand-alone and photovoltaic building integration installations, including glass and steel substrates, while the addition of solid-state perovskite materials will increase conversion efficiency and overcome low light performance.

However, the key development work lies in the stability and longevity of the materials to meet the requirements of the field operations for more than two decades, and the decay rate is comparable to conventional crystalline silicon and other thin film technologies such as CIGS and CdTe photovoltaic modules.

Dr. Gerry Ronan, head of intellectual property commercialization at Swansea University, added: “Swansea, especially the SPECIFIC consortium, is currently considered the world leader in expanding third-generation photovoltaics. An exciting moment in the past few years has been the rapid progress of global science, and scale manufacturing is now really on the agenda."

Dyesol also cooperated with the University of Sheffield in the UK and obtained a grant of 220,000 pounds for the Knowledge Transfer Partner Program.

The company did not disclose what subsidies it would receive from the SPECIFIC or the Welsh government that originally invested in SPECIFIC.
