Dyesol Limited (ASX:DYE) has partnered with international conference organiser IntertechPira to stage the 4th International Conference on the Industrialisation of Dye Solar Cells (DSC-IC 2010).

The conference will be held in Denver, Colorado from the 25th to the 28th of October 2010 and has been designed to attract companies that could develop new products based on dye solar cell (DSC) technology, as well as companies that could become suppliers to the industry.

This is the 4th in a series of conferences organised by Dyesol to help advance the DSC industry. The conferences are held in strategic locations around the world – in Australia, Switzerland, Japan, and now USA, where Dyesol continues to lead the progress towards industrialisation of this important renewable energy technology.

It will feature innovators discussing the latest breakthroughs in materials, R&D and progress of commercialisation projects. It will also enable delegates to network with scientists, engineers, industrialists, investors, brand owners, materials and equipment suppliers from around the world.

More information about the 4th International Conference on the Industrialisation of Dye Solar Cells will be available on www.dyesol.com and an event website in the coming weeks.

The Technology – DYE SOLAR CELLS

DSC technology can best be described as ‘artificial photosynthesis’ using an electrolyte, a layer of titania (a pigment used in white paints and tooth paste) and ruthenium dye deposited on glass, metal or polymer substrates. Light striking the dye excites electrons which are absorbed by the titania to become an electric current many times stronger than that found in natural photosynthesis in plants. 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.

The Company – DYESOL Limited

Dyesol is located in Queanbeyan NSW (near Canberra) and in August 2005 was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX Code ‘DYE’). Dyesol manufactures and supplies a range of dye solar cell products comprising equipment, chemicals, materials, components and related services to researchers and manufacturers of DSC. Dyesol has subsidiaries in UK, Italy, Switzerland, USA, Korea and Singapore plus representatives and agents in Turkey, Germany, Abu Dhabi, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. The Company is playing a key role in taking this third generation solar technology from development into commercial production.
