Picked up this article, which is translated from german.
Few interesting lines in there, sadly being messed up by translation. We used to have a german reading these boards, are they still here?

Anyway some select quotes.
"By the middle of this year, the British mobile phone chargers G24i start with the Australian coat for trading purposes. Europe's second largest steel group Corus is planning to mass factory roofs with steel plates electricity-producing device. And researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg are experimenting with glass, with color Dyesol electricity generated in one to two years on the market."

So they are claiming G24i are going to be using Dyesol materials, nothing new there on Corus, but seems there is a German research group working on using Dyesol on glass that we did not know about. Of course there are lots of little research groups going, but good to name one.

"In a test facility in Wales, Corus and Dyesol refine the current prototype of its electricity-generating steel roofs. By the middle of the year, they are open-air tests in British Nieselwetter exist. To set the production in Europe to accelerate the future is not yet called the German chemical company supplying ingredients. In the coming year will be the first coated steel roofs are delivered."

This is the interesting one though, reaffirms the "open-air tests" shortly, but it looks like there is a German chemical company being lined up for the full scale production of materials to go with the Corus project.
Customer delivered panels in the coming year.


The article is all about DYE, mentions the Tullochs etc, shame we cant get any australian media coverage.
