DSC = Dye Sensitizied Solar Cells

• DSC has been invented by Prof. Graetzel from EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland

• DSC solar cellar are coloured transparent glass modules

• This PV technology has the lowest CO2 footprint, the shortest energy payback time, no rare elements applied

• The panels are easy to recycle with existing processes and collecting channels

• Gaialogics has developed the industrial manufacturing process to laminate the panels into special laminated windows of industrial high-yield greenhouses. They operate ideally in hot, sandy areas.

• DSC Technology is undergoing constant research and development by several scientists worldwide, which is resulting in new levels of sophistication and many substantial advancements

This new DSC glass module offers

3 functions

• passive heat reduction

• the generation of energy at grid parity 

• it changes some wavelengths of the light into beneficial ones which result in improved plant growth and a high-yield crop in the greenhouse

 DSC in BIPV

• The same glass can be used as BIPV on a building's glass facade and it can also be used in urban furniture (PV fences, anti-noise walls and potentially many other areas)
  

DSC and Perovskite

• DSC is the gateway to the Perovskyte Technology (the fastest-advancing solar technology to date). Approx. 70-80% of the equipment of DSC can be used for Perovskyte Technology

• Gaialogics is ideally positioned in developing the manufacturing process of Perovskite

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY : SOLAR TRANSPARENCIES

SOLAR TRANSPARENCIES is an undertaking of significant geostrategic importance, one which will help solve the dependence of countries with high-rate food imports, countries often located in areas with hot, dry, arid and sandy landscapes. It is an undertaking which will also meet the objectives outlined in the 2020 new EU regulations for energy self-sufficiency ratios; of newly constructed buildings where glass facades are a clear trend and represent a very large market worldwide.

Our plan envisions in a first step the production of semi-transparent coloured energy glass (panels) with a unique combination of 3 functions optimal for greenhouses. Additionally, their potential for various other applications renders them highly intriguing. Energy generation will be at costs below grid parity. Heat reduction through inbuilt passive insulation and selective light modification to improve plant growth and nutritional value are the 3 functions the energy glass (panel) delivers simultaneously. The energy glass is installed in the same manner as that of double insulation glass on the roofs and walls of the greenhouse or within the existing window frames of glass facades of high-rise buildings. The installation process does not necessitate any supplementary costly structure.

Over the past 20 years, 17 non-exclusive licenses were given by EPFL, the owner of the technology. Entrepreneurs together with scientists have invested several hundred million USD trying to achieve the product that only Asef Azam & Stefan A. Müller finally succeeded in developing and executed an industrial manufacturing. Asef Azam is an electrical engineer from EPFL, most probably the only engineer in DSC technology with industrial manufacturing experience. Stefan A. Müller, MBA, a CEO and Board member of various companies, both SMEs and stock listed, operating in the industrial and finance industry. With all their 25-year-long experience in various DSC projects and companies and supported by practical and scientific research conducted in the field of greenhouse technology since 2018, they have introduced a significantly enhanced and highly efficient DSC energy glass. Gaialogics consults companies active in DSC and perovskite as well as in building manufacturing equipment for special processes, which this technology needs. We manufacture DSC prototypes, TiO2 and consult on the supply chain of raw materials for this technology.

Three years is necessary from a Greenfield to a mass production centre and in achieving a positive EBITDA for production capacities starting at 250’000 m2/year and increasing up to 1.5 million m2/y with a further potential of capacity increase.
