Queanbeyan, Australia - 20 March 2012 -- Next generation Dye Solar Cell
(DSC) windows being showcased at the Human Resource Development Centre of
the Seoul City Government in South Korea demonstrate that - not only can
DSC applications turn buildings into power plants - they also create
enormous opportunities for architects to design clean energy generating
buildings that are at the cutting edge in style.

Manufactured by Eagon Industrial Co. Ltd. - a large Korean glass
fabrication company specialising in window and door systems - the striking
windows pictured below which form part of the installation employ a glass
treatment to create a beautiful and funky geometric pattern - a modern-day
stained glass window generating clean, renewable electricity from sunlight.

The DSC modules (tiles) used in the window systems installed at Seoul
City´s Human Resource Development Centre, were produced and supplied by
Dyesol Limited´s Korean joint venture partner, Timo Technology, using
Dyesol DSC materials, technology and know-how.

The Seoul Economic Times reported on March 14th, that this DSC window
installation is the first in South Korea and is a beautiful showcase
building for DSC technology.  Other reporting indicated that if this
showcase is successful Seoul City will expand this initiative through the
application of DSC BIPV into other buildings. Seoul City Government is
applauded for this outstanding initiative.

Dye Solar Cell technology is a biomimetic nanotechnology that emulates the
natural process of photosynthesis.  Using a layer of titania, electrolyte
and ruthenium dye sandwiched between glass, DSC technology generates
electricity when light striking the dye activates electrons which are
absorbed by the titania to become an electric current.

Dyesol-Timo´s testing program in Seoul supports DSC´s superior performance
as measured and reported in other locations around the world in real-world
solar conditions (i.e. cloudy days) and non-optimum orientation (i.e.
vertical), confirming the significant potential for DSC to be fully
integrated into the building fabric including facades and windows.

Dyesol-Timo was formed in 2008 with Timo Technology providing a technology
development and manufacturing expertise and Dyesol providing its DSC
expertise, materials and equipment solutions to develop products and
establish the venture´s prototype line.  This prototype manufacturing line
