Within the activity involving manufacturing, it is expected<br />

to clear the way towards commercialization for those<br />

most promising concepts. This is the case of the multijunction<br />

solar cells and within this activity it is expected<br />

to develop, for example, trackers with the necessary<br />

accuracy to follow the sun at 1000 suns, “pick and<br />

place” assembling techniques as to produce concentrator<br />

modules at competitive prices as well as to draft the<br />

normative that has to serve as the framework for the<br />

implementation of these systems. Fig. 5. An example of novel concentrator<br />

lenses.<br />

Project Structure: The Project is coordinated by Prof. Antonio Luque (Instituto de Energía Solar) assisted<br />

by Projektgesellschaft Solare <strong>Energie</strong>systeme GmbH (PSE). The Consortium involves 19 research<br />

institutions listed at the side of this text. As mentioned, to make the better use of the solar<br />

spectrum declared above, the project is structured along five research development and innovation<br />

activities:<br />

1) Multijuntion solar cells. The activity is leaded by FhG-ISE<br />

IES-UPM, IOFFE, CEA-DTEN and PUM.<br />

with the participation of RWE-SSP,<br />

2) Thermophotovoltaic converters. Is headed by IOFFE and CEA-DTEN. IES-UPM and PSI participate<br />

also in its development.<br />

3) Intermediate band solar cells. The activity is leaded by IES-UPM. The other partners directly involved<br />

are UG, ICP-CSIC and UCY.<br />

4) Molecular based concepts. The activity is leaded by ECN. The other groups involved are FhG-<br />

IAP, ICSTM, UM and Solaronix.<br />

5) Manufacturing techniques and pre-normative research. The activity is leaded by ISOFOTON.<br />

IES-UPM and JRC are involved also in the activities.<br />

In addition, every two years, the Project sponsors a public Seminar about its public results and grants<br />

students worldwide in order to assist this Seminar as part of its dissemination activities. Proper announcements<br />

are made in FULLSPECTRUM web page (http://www.fullspectrum-eu.org).<br />

Work and results<br />

Solaronix is involved in the Molecular based concepts sub-project, which consists of 4 workpackages<br />

WP4.1: Flat Plat Concentrator (FPC)– Practical Devices<br />

WP4.2: Ultimate Light Concentrator Performance<br />

WP4.3. FPC stability assessment<br />

WP4.4: Dye & Quantum dots assessment (as sensitizer and/or “two-photon” absorber)<br />

In 2007, the work focused on the stability testing (WP4.3) and the preparation of new dyes to be<br />

tested in dye solar cells (WP4.4).<br />

The stability of the CRS040 dye was tested by irradiating in high intensity monochromatic light a solution<br />

of this dye in ethylacetate. Two samples were irradiated at 470 and 589 nm for 100 hours in high<br />

intensity LED.<br />
