Renewable Energy World:  Next Gen Dye Sensitive & Organic PV

24 July 2008
Registering as just a 'blip' on the renewable energy and solar power radar screens only a few years ago, organic and hybrid dye-sensitized thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells are attracting growing interest and investment.

Cutting-edge companies such as G24 Innovations, Konarka, Dyesol and Denmark's Heliotech are commercializing the first generation of products that incorporate hybrid dye-sensitized thin-film (DSC) and organic PV (OPV) cells while continuing to drive advances and improvements in manufacturing and process technology in order to develop new commercial applications, address cell durability issues and drive down costs, as well as increase cell conversion efficiencies.
