Scaling-up of glass based DSC-modules for applications in building integrated photovoltaics
Abstract
Within the German research projects ColorSol and InnoCo, a focus is put on the scaling-up of glass based dye solar cell modules and the development of a production technology. This paper reports on the successful scaling-up from 30 * 30 cm to 60 * 100 cm prototypes. First characteristics of these modules are lined out. The developed modules aim for applications in building integrated photovoltaic e.g. façades and PV-glazing. Size and technical specification of the modules follow requirements that were evaluated with architects and partners from the façade industry. For a future production partners for the value chain are being actively searched and integrated to create a network and a value chain on building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and façade applications.
