Dyesol has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to form a joint venture, Pilkington North America (PNA), to develop opportunities in the building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) marketplace utilizing Pilkington's TEC series of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) coated float glass and Dyesol's dye solar cell (DSC) materials and technology.
PNA is part of the NSG Group, a manufacturer of glass and glazing products for the building, automotive and specialty glass markets.Â
In addition to optimizing the TCO glass produced by Pilkington and the DSC materials and technology controlled by Dyesol, the joint venture, which will be located in the U.S., will develop and deliver a platform solution to downstream suppliers to the building and construction markets seeking to develop glass-based BIPV products.
The opportunities for the platform solution include BIPV and other solar applications, as well as automotive glazing, photovoltaic-powered displays and security products.
