| Popis: | We successfully developed a prototyping pilot line for dye-sensitized solar modules up to 23 × 23 cm2. Dedicated ceramic materials were studied for large area application: we formulated a lead-free glass frit sealant with low softening point based on the ternary system Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO and a TiO2 anatase screen-printable paste for semi-transparent photoanodes. Alongside traditional screen-printing, specific machines among which a thermal press, a dye injection equipment and an automatic electrolyte filler were designed and realized. A silver-free layout was adopted and the solar modules reached an efficiency close to 2%. Photovoltaic glass panels composed by interconnected DSSC modules were interfaced with custom integrated circuits to realize energy storage microsystems for two self-powered prototypes: a USB solar table for recharging of portable devices and a novel LED glass parapet for active night lighting are here presented. |
