The project will develop dye-sensitised cell (DSC) technology and is part of Dyesol’s strategy of partnering with building materials manufacturers to add photovoltaic capability to their products.
Marc Thomas, CEO of Dyesol, said, “Our relationship with the built environment is evolving,” Dyesol CEO Marc Thomas said of the partnership. “Initially, the building industry focused on products designed to conserve energy. In the coming years, buildings will integrate power generation onto products used in walls, roofs and windows, radically changing the function of a building’s envelope.
“By partnering with major building materials manufacturers such as Tata Steel, Dyesol will hasten that change and forever alter the way we look at buildings,” Thomas said.
Tata Steel is part of the Tata Group, which previously teamed up with Australian solar company Sunengy to build a pilot floating power plant.
