We have talked about Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) before. And as we mentioned then it is a new class of low-cost solar cell that belongs to the group of thin film solar cells. The attraction here is that DSSC are made of low-cost material and is easy to manufacture. They are mechanically quite robust too. Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells certainly have the potential to be a significant contributor to renewable electricity generation by 2020!

G24 innovations (G24i)…

Is a global pioneer of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, and first acquired a license to manufacture the technology in 2006, with unlimited worldwide distribution rights. Since then they have pioneered the development of this revolutionary technology and have finally announced the first ever commercial shipment of DSSC photovoltaic modules, making them the first commercial manufacturer of DSSC technology for mass consumer use in the world!

The buyer?

Hong Kong-based consumer electronics bag manufacturer, Mascotte Industrial Associates.

So what’s this technology used for?

We have already dealt with this before. Here’s a reminder.

These photovoltaic panels will be integrated into a range of electronic bags targeting the consumer market. They will harvest the energy from the sun while being used outdoors, and also energy from low light sources while indoors. This energy will then be used to repower mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones, e-books, cameras, and portable LED lighting systems!

We have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more about DSSC’s in the future and G24i’s promise to deliver the future of mobile energy by personalizing solar power must be an indication of things to come…
