Meet Solaronix on our booth at HOPV10 conference

Wed, 3 Mar 2010 10:21:47 PDT

Following our successful presentation last year at HOPV09, Solaronix is pleased to renew its participation in this year's edition, as a sponsor and exhibitor. The conference will be held in the beautiful Italian venue of Assisi, from May 23rd to 27th. Our presence highlights our commitment to be on the forefront of the Dye Solar Cell technology, and to deliver premium quality products to the scientific community and industries.

At this occasion, we will present our new products and latest advances in Dye Solar Cell manufacturing. For the first time, we will present to the public some examples of DSCs built with one of our new Sensidizer organic dye and using the recently introduced Elcocarb conductive paste. It is always a great pleasure for us to chat with our existing customers as well as all solar cell enthusiasts.

Hope to see you there!

The Solaronix team.

Sunny Memories Creations Powered by Solaronix

Thu, 7 May 2009 09:00:00 PDT

Sunny Memories is the name of a joint project from four of the most famous schools of design, the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL, Switzerland), the Royal College of Art (RCA, UK), the California College of the Arts (CCA, USA) and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI, France).

They address in this exhibition their vision of disruptive solar cell technologies such as the Dye Solar Cell. Among the revolutionary design projects presented, several creations proudly feature Solaronix Dye Solar Cells coming in special deliveries of shapes, transparency and colors.

Kusto (Damien Ummel and Thierry Didot, ECAL)

By day, the colored surface harnesses sunlight unfolded onto a window glass. At night, it folds and turns into a lamp-shape that shines a subtle and warm light from the energy stored during the day.

Solar Garden Glow (Emma Caselton, RCA)

A soft and entertaining light glows in the night. The cord wraps around a tree branch while the artificial leafs collect energy by day. At night, the same leafs are illuminated thanks to the electricity generated the hours earlier.

Faro (Dirk Winkel, RCA)

Passing at night along the pathway, a surprising and pleasant light evolves. The graphic design of the solar cells turns them into ornamented glass tiles at night, creating an unexpected visual effect.

Solarwall (Jenny Redd, CCA)

Solarwall is an office furniture that produces energy. It separates workspaces and transforms ambiant light into electricity. Coziness can be tuned up by the color and opacity of the cells while office workers can hook up their devices onto the power plugs.
