Beautiful futuristic solar cells in glass

For a number of years, the Danish Technological Institute has been researching the development of electro-chemical solar cells which can potentially be cheaper than traditional silicium solar cells. The new type of solar cell is well suited to be used in glass facades on for example office buildings. The project’s vision is to develop a technology to start industrial production of solar cell panels in glass and the new so-called DSC cell ‘Dye Sensitised Solar Cell’ is being developed together with the universities of Copenhagen and Aalborg and Mekoprint a company that makes silk prints of electronic components.
