Dyesol Limited: New Record Efficiency for Dye Solar Cells - Seite 2

that the cumulative seasonal energy output from DSC over the course of a
cloudy autumn, dreary winter, and whole year is much greater.

The two-step deposition process highlighted in EPFL's report published in
Nature is, importantly, reproducible - a crucial factor for
commercialisation of any technology requiring large scale quantities of
product to satisfy a mass-market.

This important technology breakthrough follows two other recent
announcements from Australian clean-tech and award-winning solar technology
innovator, Dyesol Ltd (ASX: DYE). Dyesol is working closely with EPFL and
advancing commercialisation of the mesoscopic technology called Dye Solar
Cells by embedding the revolutionary technology onto manufacturing
partners' building products, such as steel roofing and glass building
façade to meet the growing demand for building integrated photovoltaic
products which turn the building envelope into an active power generator
for building occupants and the grid.

About EPFL
DSC technology was invented at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, of the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1988 by
Brian O'Regan and Michael Graetzel. Their paper 'A low-cost,
high-efficiency solar cell based on dye-sensitized colloidal TiO2 films'
published in 1991 in the journal, Nature, was the catalyst that spawned a
whole new industry and a whole new way of looking at harvesting electrical
power from sunlight. Since that time Professor Graetzel, now at
Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has remained
strongly focused on DSC technology, received numerous awards and accolades
in relation to the invention of DSC, and maintained close links to Dyesol
as Chairman of Dyesol's Technical Advisory Board.

About Dyesol Limited
Dyesol is a global supplier of Dye Solar Cell (DSC) materials, technology
and know-how. DSC is a photovoltaic technology enabling metal, glass and
polymeric based products in the building, transport and electronics sectors
to generate energy and improve energy efficiency. Dyesol partners with
leading multinational companies who possess significant market share and
established routes-to-market. The company is listed on the Australian
Stock Exchange (DYE), the German Open Market (D5I), and is trading on the
OTCQX (DYSOY) through its depositary BNY Mellon. Learn more and subscribe

About Dye Solar Cell Technology
DSC technology can best be described as 'artificial photosynthesis' using a
layer of nano-titania (a pigment used in white paints and tooth paste) and
light harvester deposited on glass, metal or polymer substrates. Light
striking the harvester excites electrons which are absorbed by the titania
to become an electric current. Compared to conventional silicon based
photovoltaic technology, Dyesol's technology has lower cost and embodied
energy in manufacture, it produces electricity more efficiently even in low
light conditions and can be directly incorporated into buildings by
replacing conventional glass panels or metal sheets rather than taking up
roof or extra land area.
