2.Purpose of the introduction of the line to verify mass productivity
To verify the technology for automating the production process of dye-sensitized solar cells.


3.Other
Our module sample was provided to Shimane Prefecture on August 2010 to promote the "green decentralization reforms" (verification test on the application of solar panels to greenhouses). It was verified that a stable voltage can be obtained regardless of the incidence angle of the sun.
