Market Advantages for DSSC

The production of DSSCs incur relatively low cost: new patented technologies will result in less than $1.5 ppw for module manufacturing cost at initial production, dropping to about half this figure ($0.7 ppw) on the basis of economy of scale from multiple plants as opposed to more than $3 ppw today.

DSSCs have an additional advantage in that they are particularly suited to warmer climates. When hot, crystalline silicon modules lose efficiency far more than do dye cells.

DSSCs also work well in a wide range of lighting conditions and orientation, and they are less sensitive to partial shadowing and low-level illumination compared to silicon.
