Boring squares get a colourful life: using fluorescent dyes to make crystalline silicon solar cells look good in glazing

Dorothy Hardy investigates ways of making solar cells look good as part of architecture. She use fluorescent dyes to change the colours of the solar cell encapsulates. This technology has minimal effect on the electricity output from the cells, unlike many other methods of altering the appearance of solar cells. Dorothy will present her recent work using traditional stained glass techniques.
