DSS offers solutions! We convert your daily environment into a source of solar energy.
The product from Dynamic Solar Systems AG has unique competitive strengths: The DSS solar cell is a thin-film cell produced using inorganic chemicals. Thanks to an entirely new printing paste in combination with a proprietary modified printing process the developers of the DSS technology have been able to produce robust and durable, low cost and efficient solar cells.
The printed DSS thin-film solar cells are manufactured using a process that is completely different from conventional photovoltaic production technology. In addition the layers of the DSS solar cells can be applied directly to flat surfaces and as well as indirectly to every object and every construction material by use of a transfer foil.
This potential extends from building facades to sound-retarding walls along railroad tracks and highways and even to laptop lids, mobile telephones and many other consumer articles. By use of this technological advantage, unlimited new markets can be opened up with the DSS applications that previously could not be covered by the classical solar industry technology. The flexible DSS cells can be bent over 90 degrees in every direction and even adapt well on corrugated underlying surfaces.
The cells continue to function at high temperatures with very little loss in efficiency and can move with almost all expansions and contractions of the underlying surface due to heat and cold. The surface is non-reflective which allows the cells to be used in sensitive areas such as railways and highways. Properly positioning the cell in relation to the sun increases the efficiency but large amounts of energy are still produced when the angle of incidence is marginal. Cooling of the cell is not necessary and a stable production of energy is guaranteed up to 120⁰ C.
Everything becomes a solar cell
The layers of the solar cells can be applied to flat objects as well as a transfer-adhesive foil that can be attached to every surface and every construction material
Solar Advantage!
Dynamic Solar Systems AG committed itself to the “fully printed” solar cells right from the start.
- New Application Areas
- Capabilities
- Cost efficient production
- Solar cells for everyone
- New top markets
- The way to the future
Dynamic Solar Systems AG opens up new markets. The potential usage for solar cells in combination with every-day products is almost unlimited. Facades, roofs, wind generators, paving stones, stadiums, laptop lids and sails to name just a few.
Did you know that there are over 100 million square meters of sound-retarding and screening walls along train tracks and roadways? This is just one of many areas where Dynamic Solar Systems AG sees a potential of 20 million square meters in the years ahead.
Dynamic Solar Systems AG can put its advantages to good use in this area. Unused, existing surfaces can now be used by applying solar foil directly to the underlying construction material making extensive substructures or free standing installations completely obsolete. The cost-savings are obvious, no substructures or fastening mechanisms because the acryl or composite panels are printed directly. Here DSS integrates its production technology directly in the work-flow of its partner.
Application range from building facades to sound-retarding walls along railroad tracks and highways and even to laptop lids, mobile telephones and many other consumer articles. There is unlimited market potential for Dynamic Solar Systems AG that the classic solar industry was unable to serve due to technical limitations. The electricity production from the planned second layer which is not available from traditional cells will further increase the energy yield.
The manufacturing process developed by Dynamic Solar Systems AG will amortise the cost of production equipment in a relatively short period of time due to the significantly reduced operating expenses in comparison to conventional production facilities. Due to the reduced manufacturing costs which can largely be attributed to an inexpensive mass printing process it is possible to achieve an annual production of several megawatts where the cost of the assembly line is relatively small in comparison to other traditional production processes.
The way is clear: the highly efficient solar cells with the innovative production concept will be produced in large quantities and thus be able to serve markets that have not yet been reached by the competition. New applications can be developed that have been overlooked due to the high cost of solar technology.
Analysts see the emerging nations and third-world countries as the target markets for the solar branch in the near future. This is a market with over two billion people who still have no access to the electricity grid. Solar electrification can make a significant contribution to the eradication of poverty.
Innovative technologies with reduced silicon requirements: The experts agree – the mass markets of the future can only be served with silicon-reduced manufacturing processes such as thin-film photovoltaic. These cells which are produced using a printing process require substantially less material and offer a greater potential for cost reduction.
The answer is easy
Solar energy is the technology of the future. And it’s getting bigger!
There is no need to develop a completely new manufacturing process.
The technology can be integrated into existing assembly lines at any time using the modifications developed by DSS.
Unique technology
Dynamic Solar Systems AG has made it its goal to disprove the often quoted contradiction between ecology and economy through the intensified and innovative use of cost-efficient processes. The growing world economy and the shortage of fossil fuels will continue to cause higher energy prices. The climate change which has been primarily caused by emissions from carbon-based energy sources requires a general change in thinking and an increased environmental awareness. It is therefore urgently necessary to offer sustainable and environmentally neutral solutions.
A completely new approach
Dynamic Solar Systems AG committed itself to the “fully printed” solar cells right from the start. By integrating the DSS solar technology into many everyday products, we’ve made it possible to generate energy on the spot, right there where it is consumed. We offer our customers a possible independence from rising electricity prices and provide at the same time useful methods to combat overloaded power grids and the loss of energy during transmission.
Fully printed
The printed inorganic thin-film solar cells are manufactured using a process that is completely different from conventional photovoltaic thin-film technology. The production is based upon a printing technology that has been employed for decades in the graphic industry. DSS has found a way to make optimal use of this knowledge and has developed a modified printing process which, when combined with the DSS solar paste, easily produces printed solar cells.
