EQUIPMENT CATALOGUE
Dear Valued Customer,
To reflect the new direction for our company in terms of both technology and business generation we are pleased to announce that the Dyesol group has changed its name to Greatcell Solar.
Dyesol Limited was formed in 2004 to accelerate the commercial development of Dye Solar Cell technology and build on the DSC work of previous 14 years carried out by Sustainable Technologies International Pty Ltd (“STI”), Greatcell Solar S.A. (“Greatcell”), and Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
On June the 9th 2017 at a general meeting of Dyesol shareholders a special resolution to change the name of the Company from Dyesol Limited to Greatcell Solar Limited was approved.
If you are a customer of the Company, our banking details will remain unchanged except for new account holder name details. We will, of course, continue to deliver the best materials and equipment in this rapidly growing renewable energy sector. We will also continue to sensibly manage the transition, recognising both names in relevant circumstances.
The name change is much more than cosmetic, it is a new direction for the company in terms of both technology and business generation. The new name signifies to us a new chapter of commercial progress and is more appropriate for our 3rd generation solar PV technology.
What will not change is our commitment to provide you with excellent materials and great equipment.
FROM DYESOL TO GREATCELL SOLAR THE SAME
COMMITMENT FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE!

USEUse the YAG Laser Scribing Machine to remove the conductive oxide layer from glass substrates so that a series connect tile can be produced and to laser scribe and identify test cells and other products.
DESCRIPTION & BENEFITS The YAG Laser Scribing Machine utilises a YAG laser, producing a continuous cut or scribing, which is used to remove the conductive oxide layer from glass substrates so that a series connect tile can be produced. The software allows the machine to be programmed for your specific tiles and designs.
The wavelength utilised renders the system suitable for plastics and glass. YAG laser ablates the TCO without damaging the underlying glass; this leads isolations without residual material piled up at the edges. This is important for perovskites due to the small thickness of the active layers (compared to DSC), as the piled up material can form shorting pathways. Machine includes: precision scribing, use of your own CAD files, and high speed operation.

USEUse the Test Cell Heat Press to seal Perovskite and/or DSC test cells.
DESCRIPTION & BENEFITS The Test Cell Heat Press provides the user with a rapid method for the assembly and permanent sealing of Perovskite and DSC test cells.
The Test Cell heat press applies pressure across the cell for sealing. A combination of light mechanical pressure and heating is used in sealing. A heated element applies pressure to the glass substrate of the counter electrode to melt a thermoplastic gasket between the counter and working electrodes.
The temperature which the counter electrode reaches can be controlled by temperature set by the user to the heating head and the length of time of applied pressure. This is important because excessive temperatures will damage temperature sensitive materials. The mechanical pressure applied to the cell during construction and the time of application can be varied by a user-adjustable pressure regulator and a timing unit. This is important because it ensures consistent, repeatable cell construction.
