Pilot Production to High Volume Manufacturing

2

• Founded November 2008

• Manufacturer of Dye Sensitised

Solar Cell (DSSC) modules

SolarPrint HQ in Sandyford, Dublin, Ireland.

• “SolarPrint is an ethical,

innovative, world class

provider of secure and

sustainable Global Energy ”

• We are committed to being

at the forefront of

developing the next

generation of light

conversion technologies

Vision statement

3

In a Nutshell: Photovoltaic of the Future

• SolarPrint paves the way to the mass production of inexpensive photovoltaic

cells that could become commercially viable even without subsidies

• SolarPrint produces Dye-Sensitised Solar Cells (DSSC), made from abundant

materials in a simple all-printable process

• Efficient from any angle of incidence, even at diffuse light, DSSC works where

other PV technologies fail - opening a world of new solar-powered applications

• SolarPrint targets billion dollar markets, initially focusing on powering consumer

electronic devices, Automotive and building-integrated PV

• The company is completing design of its first high volume manufacturing line

DSSC: Artificial Photosynthesis• Achieves higher power output

over a day, as cell remains

efficient from any angle of

incidence and in diffuse light

• Uses abundant materials and

a simple manufacturing

process - dramatically

lowering costs at high volumes

• Can be made flexible and

colourful

Light absorbed by dye > electron injected

from excited dye into layer of titanium

dioxide (TiO2) > redox couple effect

generates electricity

Photovoltaic Industry

• Mature technologies, but cost

and efficiency improvements

hard to achieve due to

inherent limitations of silicon

DSSC

• Uses less silicon, but still

constrained by the same

material limitations

• Break from silicon, but rely on

rare and toxic materials

• Efficiencies still low, even in the

lab; no mass production solution

• 12% efficiency already achieved,

but no mass production solution
