The dye solar cell module is still a young photovoltaic technology. However, in the last few years, this technology has started to extend beyond the laboratory level. The ultimate aim is the successful integration of these solar modules into the building façade. A large challenge in the development of new photovoltaic technologies is the transfer from the laboratory to the industrial level.

As a step in this direction, researchers at Fraunhofer ISE have succeeded in producing the worldwide first dye solar cell module on a continuous substrate material with dimensions of 60 x 100 cm². An important hurdle has been overcome.
