In-Dye®
Performance
In-Dye® is the Highest Energy Yield Indoor PV Cell
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) mimic plant photosynthesis to capture light and convert it into energy. Since their discovery in 1988, their superior potential for capturing diffuse or low-intensity light has been recognised.
G-LYTE has been the only one to succeed in stabilising DSSCs at this very high level of performance, by innovating both the chemistry and the manufacturing process.
And the best part of In-Dye® is that you’ll have access to the performances at a very competitive price.
G-LYTE technology delivers up to 3.5x
more power than traditional technologies at 1,000 lux, with only 5% voltage variation between 100 and 1000 lux.
Power conversion
Greater than 25 % efficiency (> 75 µW/cm²) under 1000 lux
Voltage stability
Vmpp remains between 742 and 752 mV across a light intensity range of 50 to 1000 lux
Durability
Retains 80 % of the initial PCE for 15 years
Recyclability & Environnemental impact
More than 99 % of the cell is recyclable
Inspired by nature
Highest efficiency
DSSCs are particularly effective in diffuse or low light intensity. In-Dye® is also extremely sensitive and can be used from 20 Lux upwards.
Tuned for indoor light
performance in real environments.
G-LYTE
Long lasting
G-LYTE’s DNA is the ability to stabilise very high levels of performance thanks to exhaustive knowledge of degradation mechanisms and the solutions for mitigating them.
Robust
G-LYTE
High recyclability
To meet future requirements, G-LYTE offers a low-energy process for recycling In-Dye® cells.

An exclusive process to reach long term stability
The glassfrit sealing process is well known for being the most efficient and durable. It is already widely used in industry, but until now has required temperatures in excess of 400°C, making it incompatible with DSSCs. Our exclusive automated process enables glassfrit sealing in a matter of seconds at temperatures of 80° to 120°C, ensuring not only a long term stability in any kind of environment, but also the recyclability of the device.

What are Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs)?
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) are a type of photovoltaic technology that mimics photosynthesis to generate electricity. They are known for their high efficiency in low-light conditions and their aesthetic versatility.
How are DSSCs different from traditional silicon-based photovoltaic?
DSSCs use dye to absorb light and generate electricity. They are more lightweight and perform better in an indoor environment, making them suitable for various applications including integration into IoT devices.
What are the main application of DSSCs in the IoT sector?
DSSCs can be used in a variety of IoT applications, including smart home devices, environmental sensors, industrial monitoring systems, electronic shelf labels, wearable electronics etc.
Are DSSC environmentally friendly?
Yes, DSSCs are considered environmentally friendly due to their low-energy manufacturing processes and the use of non-toxic materials. Additionally, they provide a renewable power source for IoT devices and reduce the amount of generated waste.
What are the advantages of using DSSCs over batteries for IoT devices?
DSSCs provide a continuous power source, reducing or eliminationg the need for battery replacement or recharging. This enhance the reliability of IoT devices while also reducing maintenance costs and environmental impact.
Can DSSCs help in reducing the carbon footprint of IoT devices?
Yes, DSSCs help reduce the carbon footprint of IoT devices by providing a clean, renewable and unlimited source of energy. This reduces the reliance on fossil fuels, and decreases the greenhouse gas emissions associated with battery production and disposal.
How much energy can I expect in-dye® to generate in an indoor environment?
The energy output of DSSC in an indoor environment depends on light intensity and the device size. At 1000 lux, the expected power density is between 70 and 90 µW/cm².
What is the lifespan of in-dye®?
In-dye® offers a long-term power solution for IoT devices. The photovoltaic device is expected to retain at least 80 % of its initial efficiency after spending 12 years in an indoor environment.
Can in-dye® be used outdoors?
Yes, in-dye® Hybrid can be used outdoors. This hybrid version demonstrates excellent stability in outdoor conditions, satisfying the outdoor photovoltaic ageing standards.
Is in-dye® affected by shading or partial light exposure?
Unlike photovoltaic modules, in-dye® device can continue to generate power even when parts of the cell are shaded, making it more reliable in variable lighting conditions.
